Voices from the Pacific

Hello Keisha,

I would like to applaud you on your decision to go on the Pacific Tour aboard the Esperanza in your capacity as a Sign On ambassador. It is exactly this kind of publicity that the campaign needs and you are leading by example. I hope the tour goes well for you. I wish you the best of luck on what will be an amazing experience.

I felt just the same when I became a mother at 19. It was a wake up call, the world became a whole new place and I felt responsible for the first time in the part I played in the big picture. What your doing is awesome. Good luck and YOU GO GIRL!!!

Keisha,

It's so wonderful that you're doing this. At the climate change negotiations in Bonn it was clear that the Pacific needs all the support it can get - few countries are yet willing to take the steps needed to safeguard the Pacific (and other areas that are most vulnerable to climate change). It is their survival and future that's at stake with climate change and and so its vitally important that the stories from the Pacific are told. Thanks heaps.

Good on ya girl! I hope you have great sea legs...if you can handle the Crook Straight you can handle anything!
Well done for taking on this venture, awesome that you will be finding the facts so you can speak from a place of experience through what you've seen.
Wishing you love and light in your journey into knowledge.

Will be seeing you on facebook.

Thinking of you and the whole crew Keisha. You are making such a valuable contribution in doing this trip. I hope the seas are as smooth as glass for you!

Kia Ora Keisha, its awesome that you have signed on and truly believe in the hui that is coming up in Coppenhagen, I have been a supporter of Greenpeace for many years and alhough only financially I do believe that any support towards Greenpeace is a step in the right direction for all New Zealanders, and only this year have I actually become a little more involved and hope to do more.

Hi Keisha,

You go girl! It's one of those moments in history where people need to stand up and be counted on issues that are SOOOOO important to not just our own futures, but the future for our children and grandchildren.

And people in developing countries need our leadership more than ever, so their voices are not lost and their futures destroyed.

All power to you!

Hi Keisha,
New Zealand needs people like you! You can move mountains. I think it's fantastic that celebrities are standing up now for what's right. I hope there are more to follow. It's going to happen - in NZ!!

Hi Keisha
I just wanted to say that you are an inspiration and that its great that many NZ celebrities are getting behind this cause. It just makes me really angry that the leaders of our country seem to value economic development over the environment. Is it so difficult to understand that you can still have economic development without compromising our environment? What will it take for our leaders to understand that we are an integral part of the environment, and that in order to have a healthy economy and population, you need to have a healthy environment! Anyway, I wish you all the very best in your travels.

Take care,
Ceilla

I definately agree. It is the smaller countries that get hurt first through global warming, and it would be so great to be on the ship and experience what they are doing to try and combat this global problem. You go girl.

Keisha I admire your comitment and the fact tat you are so aware of the climate change and are prepared to do something so positive enjoy the experience and thank you

Go hard Kia kaha. Just dont go jumping on any whales. Thier actually hard to ride. But if you see some, Blow them a kiss for me and tell them i love them and soon i will be able to help them.
Everlasting Love for the planet.

Kiaora koutou!
Thank you for all your support - I'm very excited now.
Am just at the airport with Kathy and Samantha, waiting to board the flight.
This is my first time to the Cook Islands so it's great that I'm heading there in a real positive light.
I am feeling quite emotional, especially knowing so many other people are passionate about the cause but here we are guys, taking action!

Make sure you get all your friends and family to SIGN ON!

Love & light -

Its great to have you on board with the campaign I am sure the experience will be one you will treasure for a life time. You will inspire many people with your journey, as a young mother and excellent actress you have become a favourite of the nation. It is particularly impressive to me that you are giving your time to learn and shrare your experiences on what will be one of the front lines of the battle for the future of our planet. We and the scientists don't know how bad it will get or how quickly it will happen or exactly what or who will be impacted the most. We do know that most scientists agree that it is happening and if we do nothing it will cause catastrophic change and that the most vulnerable and worst affected will be the poor. Have a great and meaningful journey Daren GPNZ Board.

Kia ora Keisha,
what a lovely personal thing to do sending an email to us all - thanks for that. My friend was right proper impressed I had an email from Keisha Castle-Hughes!
I have worked in environmental education for 10 years and I know how effective it is to have well known and respected people such as yourself send out powerful positive messages to their country. Thank you so much for having the courage to take a stand in this way. Have fun!
Kia kaha, aroha,
