More than half the children who are treated in the Maunu Health Camp near Whangarei are Maoris. There are usually about 24 to 27 children in the camp and each group stays for six weeks. Not only are the children brought back to good condition, but they are also trained in health habits. Health Camps are run by private and voluntary contributions. The sale of Health stamps provides much of the revenue. The camps can be helped not only by money gifts, but also by sending vegetables, clothing and children's books. Miss Deane, the nurse in charge, is very pleased about the way the Maori and European children get on together. The Maori children that come here are usually very quiet and the European children very nervous; they have a good influence on each other.
