Champions for Children is a podcast produced by Save the Children New Zealand that celebrates our stories and programmes creating positive lasting change for and with children.

Episode 3 is an interview with adventurer and fundraiser, Huw Kingston, one half of Alpine Odyssey Aotearoa - alongside his friend Laurence Mote. Huw and Laurence recently completed an incredible journey the length of Aotearoa - skiing every ski field in New Zealand and travelling by bike and foot from the far north to the deep south. Their mission was to raise funds for Save the Children to help build climate-resilient classrooms in Vanuatu, supporting children whose education is being disrupted by climate change.

Recorded in Wellington during a brief break after completing the North Island leg of their journey, this episode captures Huw's reflections on the challenges, highlights, and purpose behind Alpine Odyssey Aotearoa - and adventure grounded in endurance, community, and hope.
