When I started Kids Greening Taupō (KGT) I was a shy year nine student at Tauhara College. I didn't think I would enjoy all the planting because that didn't seem like ‘me’. After a year or so into it I realized how much fun it was, the programme is so much more than just planting. 

All the opportunities I have had as a part of this team have been incredible.

My highlights as part of the KGT programme have been:

  • Meeting Bill English, the former Prime Minister of NZ and Sophie Handford (young climate activist and counsillor)

  • Recording voice advertisements for the radio

  • Being in newspaper articles

  • Working with children

  • Planting trees

  • Planning events

It's been very rewarding to get outside and being one with nature. It’s really good to feel like I've made a difference.

Being a part of this team has really helped boost my confidence and I think has made me more aware of my surroundings. During my last year of college I was the environmental coordinator and I think being part of KGT is what really helped me get to that place. 

It’s sad to say goodbye but I know that my time on this team has been very beneficial.

I am so beyond grateful for the whole experience and cannot wait to see where this team goes in the future.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
