Apiata to help at risk youth

Stuff reports:

New Zealand’s only living recipient of the Victoria Cross, Corporal Willie Apiata, is leaving the military.

Prime Minister John Key has revealed Apiata is leaving the SAS to work for the youth charity High Wire Trust.

The Trust, which has an outdoor pursuits centre in Papakura, helps at-risk young people.

“I’m sure he’ll do a great job out there,” Key said.

“He’ll be a great role model for them.”

Willie was probably bored once the SAS finished their Afghanistans missions 🙂

Anyway what an inspired decision to work for the High Wire Trust. If anyone can make a difference, he will.
