NZME and World Vision New Zealand 14,045 have joined together to produce an edi- torial campaign shining a light on a form of child exploitation in India and 14,045* Myanmar. CIRCULATION 14,045* Not for Sale aims to transform the lives of children facing exploitation in Asia by sharing their stories. The figures on child exploitation are stark. Millions of girls in Asia are being married off as young as 12, trafficked into sex work or forced into back-breaking labour. There are 152 million children in work around the world. Around 15 million girls [email protected] under the age of 18 are married each year — one every two seconds. And 1.2 million children are trafficked every year. [email protected] The focus of Not for Safe is on a handful of Asian countries with the highest rates [email protected] of exploitation, and where World Vision already has a presence — Myanmar, [email protected] India, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Nepal. “With the scale of the problem, we can’t [email protected] do everything,” said World Vision New Zealand national director Grant Bayldon. “But we can make a huge difference for Herald on Sunday columnist and Newstalk ZB host Kerre McIvor stands above the [email protected] the girls in the communities we work Kolkata red light district which is Asia’s largest brothel.

A promising future is on the cards for two singers who scooped major awards in the vocal section of the Te Awamutu Performing Arts Compe- titions. Emmanuel Fonoti Fuimaono is a music student at the University of Waikato. He captivated the audience with his performance of Tosti’s Neapolitan song Marechiare and was awarded the Highfield Cup for winning the Gentlemen’s Own Selec- tion in the vocal class. Emmanuel was described by adjudicator Judy Bellingham as a gifted young tenor with a big voice and even bigger presence.
