Billy Graham, Naenae Charitable Trust

As one of the country's foremost motivational speakers and fitness advisors, Billy Graham is passionate about making a world of difference to the lives of at-risk youth in Naenae and New Zealand.

The Naenae Academy, a fitness and wellness centre for youth at severe risk in the Naenae and the Hutt Valley, is the main tool in this campaign.

Through the work of the Trust the boys are carefully nurtured to become good, upstanding, proud citizens who have the skills and courage to make the right choices in their lives

"The World of Difference programme will allow me to spend much needed time at the Academy so I can develop and execute our programmes, including a plan to improve the facilities for the 120 boys who use the premises."
