I believe the world can change because it is suppose to change, its not how it was designed to be.
I also believe that this change needs to first occur in me, that if the world is to change, I need to change.
That is what this project is all about, – but not as it appears. Sure a house is changed, and hopefully a families life, relationships, and future is expanded, but I am convinced that the real change occurs within those individuals, communities, groups and work places that serve humanity on their backdoor and beyond. A new house is just the physical picture of what is happening to us and we become truly human, sacrificing for those around us.
Thanks for being part of the change and being the change.

Firstly if you read this Richard, I’m sorry for your new nick name. Random Richard from Tasman Doors and Open doors, two top quality interior door companies in Tauranga sent me an email via our website yesterday morning expressing his interest in helping out with our project. in a short few minute conversation he committed to helping us with all of our interior door needs as well financial support. Richard will be having a moving sale as he has a new premises to operate his businesses from. He has said that we will give half of his profits to The Makeover Project and Half to Habitat for Humanity. This is so amazing and is a huge testament to Tasman Doors, Open doors and Richard’s commitment to our local community. Thank you Random Richard. 
What a successful day- this morning we started with the task of mass business proposals to raise support and product for The Make over project. We started printing, cutting and folding packs together to give to businesses. Thanks to the generous donations from Kale print and v.Marketing we were able to have them looking amazing. Then we hit the car and started sharing the story. Now mid afternoon with one appointment left, we finish the day with free electrical supplies, bathroom supplies and wait for it… the big one… a full waiver of all council fees required for various permits. also we will have an on call building inspector for the course of the project so we have no hold ups. A big thank you to the Mayor and the Council for partnering with us and clearing the way. Also Stuart Crosby will help hand the keys over to the house with Simon Bridges. An exciting way to finish up a thursday- thanks for your support Tauranga.
