2004 World of Difference Recipients

This year’s applications to the World of Difference programme wowed us all. So much so, it was impossible to choose only four!

For the third year in a row the Vodafone NZ Foundation was stunned by the number of passionate, selfless people out there who want to make a difference. That’s why we couldn’t narrow it down to only four winners. So this year we’re enabling 6 people to carry out their passion alongside the charity of their choice.
As in previous years each winner has his or her salary and expenses paid for by the Vodafone NZ Foundation.

Each of our winners will begin their new roles in early 2005. You’ll be able to follow their progress through their monthly diary updates, so check back in March 05 for more.
