BOUND FOR TRAVEL
TE IWI/People
An Auckland girl, Jackie Rika represented New Zealand at the first ever international Outward Bound course held in Wales last month. The course was held to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Outward Bound and took place at Aberdovey, the first school to open, based on the philosophy of founder Kurt Hahn.
Originally from Whangarei, Jackie came to Auckland last year to work for Smith and Brown Maple as a data processing clerk. She keeps fit by playing competitive sport and was thrilled with the challenge of the international course.
Sponsorship from Air New Zealand and British Airways enabled the Outward Bound Trust of New Zealand to make sure a kiwi was among the 35 young people from all over the world who attended the 23 day course.
Jackie’s bosses, Smith and Brown management have already booked Jackie for the next Outward Bound course at Anakiwa in the Marlborough Sounds and were very happy to give her the time off to travel.
