Dotted throughout New Zealand there are 40 educators disguised in various ways. You may recognise these good folk via their ability to stand tall, by their positive outlook in all that they do, by their constant reference to their fellow 'teacher' called Harold or in every case a combination of all 3 characteristics. These good people are all trained teachers who wish to help students to better understand themselves and discover that each and everyone is unique and precious. Not only do they present programmes but they get involved in 'fun' activities that promote Life Education and all that it stands for.
	Educators are passionate about their tasks as they recognise the major importance of their work is to ensure that children are given the knowledge and skills of what's healthy in terms of food and what is harmful in terms of substances. Little Harold needs to be well looked after and each educator makes sure that he is fed and watered, housed in a warm and comfortable house, meets every child in their respective schools and enjoys life. Having a positive attitude is all important and Harold is always singing songs as a way of letting us know that he wants to get the best out of every minute. In fact, Harold has recorded his very own CD with 32 songs of every type: country, rock & roll, rap, and calypso. You can purchase a CD through your educator.
