Empowering, inclusive, optimistic, balanced, forward-thinking. Life Education is a charity that teaches and enables kids to make safe decisions and empowers them to live life to their full potential. Life Education educates youth before they face the dilemma and before they even have to deal with the issue in the hope that they make the right choice for their health.

Thanks to Channel Magazine, Harold has been able to share 100s of his adventures and stories.

Life Education has taught children many things, one major area being the effects drugs can have on us. As kids mature through their teenage years, many of them get caught up in this cycle. Life Education aims to empower young people to make healthy choices for their future and provides adolescents with the knowledge needed to make these decisions for their well-being and safety. It also offers support and assistance to those who need it.

Life Education launched Empower, a programme to help tackle childhood obesity. Obesity is the biggest epidemic to threaten New Zealand children this century. Harold has helped Kiwi kids to eat healthier meals, in an effort to reduce the number of obese children.

Even for children who make friends easily, dealing with peer pressure can be problematic. Many feel obliged to follow their friends, even if they know they are making the wrong choices. Life Education not only supplies them with the skills to say NO, but also helps them to maintain healthy friendships.

In conclusion, Life Education has touched and restored many lives. It has made a huge impact on youth all around New Zealand. Without Life Education and Harold, thousands of young children might be on a very different path. "The strength is in the struggle and dignity comes from achievement." - Life Education.
