Investing in our Children & Grandchildren

ACHIEVING GROWTH

Vice Patron, Brigadier (Retd) Evan Torrence

Nau mai, haere mai

 

Welcome to the Vietnam Veterans (Neville Wallace Memorial) Children’s and Grandchildren’s Trust website

 

It is my honour as a Vietnam Veteran and a newly appointed Vice-Patron to give my strong support to this Trust that endeavors to assist children and grandchildren of Vietnam veterans fulfil their aspirations and realise their full potential.

 

As I write this I note, that since the Trust's inception in 1993, it has made a total of 704 grants worth over a third of a million dollars ranging in value from $120 to $2,500.  Grants have been made to assist applicants to be successful in a wide range of activities that have included academic, cultural and sporting pursuits.

I served alongside Neville Wallace for six months of the Vietnam War and I am sure that he would be delighted, that the Trust that honours his name, has been so successful in assisting so many children and grandchildren of veterans.

 

I invite you to follow your dreams and apply for a grant to help you achieve your chosen desire.

 

Nga mihi nui
