Project Overview
I am Hana Olds, an 11-year-old student at the Gifted Kids Programme in Petone, Lower Hutt. The Gifted Kids Programme is a not-for-profit organisation that challenges academically and creatively gifted kids like me to grow our exceptional talents. I have been attending the Gifted Kids Programme for five years and really enjoy the way we can be immersed into big and real life learning.


 * One of my talents is social change. To develop this further and learn in an area of passion, I am writing and publishing a book for children that I hope will both inspire readers and raise thousands of dollars towards an innovative research centre for treating cancerous tumours. ** My classmates and I are all working on this project together.

Our book is about Professor Swee Tan, who is a source of inspiration to us and many other people. He grew up in poor rural village in Malaysia, persisted through adversity, and is now a highly successful and generous surgeon. He is passionate about using his talents and knowledge to find an innovative cure for cancer.

Professor Swee Tan has agreed for us to write a book about him; his life story and his vision. **All proceeds for our book will go to Swee Tan’s Gillies McIndoe Research Institute, established to support the research into cancer tumours.**

Flyer notice board: This is a version fo the flyer that can be put on notice boards - you'll need to cut the dotted lines for the tear-offs on the bottom.  Flyer letterbox: This is a version fo the flyer that kids can use for a letterbox drop. They will need to put their name and contact details ont he bottom of each one - I've told them they have to ask parental permission before doing so.  Order form for Shadows Prove the Sun Shines: This is the order form that each child has. I've given to you in Word too, in case you'd like to modify slightly for different purposes - e.g., to leave in the staffroom of your workplace.
