From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 4 May 2023

A Nelson-based carver is on an ambitious journey to gift every child in state care a pounamu of their own.

Timoti Moran, has partnered up with advocacy group VOYCE, and is aiming to provide 100 of the pendants a month - with more than 6000 needed in total.

He's gifting one pounamu for every other piece sold in his store - Taonga by Timoti.

Timoti talks to Jesse about why he wants the children to have their own pounamu.
