<strong>Volunteer</strong> Profile - Anthony Botha<br />
Anthony is from Durban in South Africa and moved to New<br />
Zealand with his family at the beginning of 2009 where he<br />
attended James Hargest College. Anthony is in the process of<br />

Anthony says “the volunteer programme fills is his time and<br />
allows him to lend a helping hand at events where he is needed.<br />
It helps me meet new people and I get to learn more about <strong>Sport</strong><br />

Once accepted for residency Anthony would like to study<br />
Engineering at Canterbury University.
