The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle was discovered on the beach on Friday afternoon with an open wound that has left bone exposed.
The turtle is now undergoing treatment at Wellington Zoo.
Veterinarian scientist Lisa Argilla said the turtle had a 50 percent chance of survival.
"I don't think he could have picked a worse week actually to get off track because it's been freezing, especially around Wellington last week and that cold temperature and that cold water he would not be used to that and that's what's caused a lot of his issues."
Dr Argilla said the turtle was found hypothermic and barely responsive.
She said the turtle's species was generally found in the tropical belts of the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

How can we break the cycle of family violence?
BODY:
New Zealand has a chronic family violence problem, with the third worst child abuse record after Mexico and the US out of 31 OECD countries. Massey University's Dr Ruth Gammon has worked with victims for the last 30 years and has advised on some of Child, Youth and Family's most complex cases. She says the solution lies in tailor-made, carefully targeted, 'wraparound' services, which are often talked about but rarely understood. She helped shape the US National Wraparound Initiative, which began in 2003. A similar model is being trialled by Auckland and Waitemata DHBs. Dr Ruth Gammon believes it needs to be more widely adopted across New Zealand.

Intrepid wildlife photographer, Steve Winter
BODY:
The National Geographic photojournalist, Steve Winter, literally puts himself in harms way to get the perfect image, resulting in him being attacked by rhinos, charged by an 11 foot Siberian grizzly bear and trapped in quicksand.
Steve Winter is giving talks in Auckland ( 5 August, Aotea Centre) and Wellington (6 August, Te Papa)
EXTENDED BODY:
He's been attacked by rhinos, charged by an 11 foot Siberian grizzly bear and trapped in quicksand. All to get that perfect photo.
Intrepid is almost too mild a word for National Geographic photographer Steve Winter, who slept in a tent for six months at high altitudes and temperatures of minus 40 degrees, as part of his quest to track and photograph a snow leopard.
He's visited villages so isolated that the locals have never seen a camera before, let alone a white person with blonde hair.
Steve Winter started working for National Geographic in 1991, specialising in wildlife and in particular big cats. “I didn’t choose big cats. Big cats chose me.”
It all started in the mid 1990's when he was photographing birds in the mountains of Guatemala, his very first story for National Geographic. He woke up one morning to find a black jaguar at his cabin door. He began photographing big cats, and working with National Geographic developed a remote camera trap system. The shutter is triggered when an animal passes an infrared beam, allowing him to capture remarkable images of the big cats roaming freely in their natural habitat.
He talks to Lynn Freeman about his work.
Steve Winter is coming to our shores in August to speak about how he manages to track down big cats in dangerous and remote locations, and will share some of his photographs.

With Just One Suitcase - Cheryl Koenig
BODY:
They were just two boys, one from a Jewish Family, the other a Catholic one, who loved to play football in their small town in Western Romania during World War II. They met on a football field, and vowed to return for another game. They did meet again, 25 years later, in Australia. With Just One Suitcase is the true story of how the two refugees were reunited when their children met, fell in love and brought the families together.
EXTENDED BODY:
When Cheryl Koenig (OAM) and her future husband decided to introduce their parents to each other over Christmas drinks in 1975, they could not have anticipated what would happen. Her father Fred and her fiancé’s father, Itsvan led two very different lives growing up in the same small town in Romania. But these boys, one Catholic, the other Jewish, had met on the football field as teenagers during World War II.
Cheryl Koenig tells Paul Brennan on Afternoons, “…these boys were torn apart in this terrible landscape of war and communism”.
They didn't know they both were able to flee and resettle in Australia until their children brought them together.
“I always wanted to tell their story” says Koenig. “Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.” And their story is told in her new book, With Just One Suitcase.
Itsvan’s parents had a small farm and his mother ran a stall selling chickens and geese at the local market. Her father came from a very affluent Jewish family.
“My father grew up with a silver spoon. He didn’t have the same background or experience as Itsvan… In the late 1930s the anti-Semitism started and he was picked on every time he left school. My father learned at the age of 12 or 13 to use his fits and his wits to get out of things.”
The first time they met, the so called Brownshirts, Nazi supporters, were picking on Fred after school. Koenig says Itsvan didn’t like what he saw.
“He decided that he wanted to break up a fight on his way home from school. He hopped off the tram and said ‘leave this guy alone, you’ve got two of us now’”.
Both mad keen soccer players, they would meet again for a match at a local part.
“They kind of said let’s do this again. But soon after Itsvan got sent off to a Russian Gulag and they never played again.”
Fred’s family would have to go into hiding, but they survived the war. The family paid people smugglers to get them into Hungary. The two brothers went first.
“But the people smugglers got caught and shot and it would be six years before my grandparents could get out. My dad and his brother ended up coming to Australia with just one suitcase.”
Itsvan was able to escape the Russian Gulag and immigrate to Australia too.
Then Cheryl and her fiancé Robert brought the families together for Christmas drinks.
“They stood there dumbfounded. My father has a very sharp memory. It was as if he had seen a ghost. He said, I know you, I know you”, Koenig remembers. She says it was as if it was meant to be.

Helping youth in South East Asia – Social Innovator Chris Henderson
BODY:
Christchurch teacher Chris Henderson has worked with child protection agencies in the Philippines and as a consultant in education and development for youth throughout South East Asia. Lynda Chanwai-Earle follows this social innovator through the heart of Christchurch to learn more.
EXTENDED BODY:
Chris Henderson at post-quake High Street Christchurch, CBD
The organisation I ended up working for looks at how animation and comic books can be an educational resource, particularly for children, to make them more aware of child trafficking but also paedophilia as it exists in the tourist form – quite predominantly in the Philippines.
– Chris Henderson, Cognition Education.
Christchurch is the venue for a social innovation hui sponsored by the Asia New Zealand Foundation, to recognise leaders in social innovation. One such leader is Chris Henderson, an education consultant based in Christchurch working for Cognition Education, an Auckland-based education consultancy offering policy, professional development, educational and youth development in over 20 countries worldwide.
Social innovation can be described as a broad creative process of problem solving for society. Social innovation can be applied to NGO (not for profit) but also private and public sectors.
I'm meeting Chris at the hui, already abuzz with activity. But we're doing a runner. At lunch break we're jumping into his car to drive to the centre of post-quake Christchurch. Chris is taking me for a drive into the heart of the city – High Street to be precise.
On the way Chris tells me his relationship with Asia began when he was just 18. Chris describes himself as a North Shore (Auckland) boy at the time, with rugby mad parents and a very white upbringing. When he realised that his dreams of becoming an All Black were not meant to be, his far-sighted geography teacher suggested that he take a scholarship to do his final year of high school in Malaysia. It was a year that profoundly changed Chris's life.
His year in Malaysia was spent living in a rural town with a conservative Muslim family. He went to the local school, learned the language and volunteered in the community. Chris laughingly tells me that it was the best culture shock of his life. He arrived as a "white boy" with no idea. He quickly learned to love the family and the community.
Do you go back to visit? "Every year," Chris answers, "they're my second family. these days I go back with my wife and children."
He has also worked for a Danish NGO in the Philippines, attended UN conferences, and co-lead a UNESCO youth disaster leadership project following the Christchurch earthquakes. I ask him about the Philippines.
“In 2007 to 2008 my American wife was working in midwifery for an NGO based in Mindoro in the Philippines. We took our two children with us. I was lucky enough to get work with the Danish NGO as an education consultant with a child protection agency, based in Manilla.
Child protection? Must have been challenging?
"We worked in that education space – looking at how resources could help these communities and children. My Philippine colleagues also looked at the “rescue” of young kids who had been caught up in the prison system – arrested on the streets for very low level crimes but completely forgotten by the judicial system and often in adult prisons in the same cells as murderers and rapists.”
How old were these children? “Between the ages of 6 and 14.”
“What I got out of the Philippines experience is that even in the most desperate situations you had to be creative and you had to find solutions where there potentially were none – working with so little but trying to create so much. I learned so much from my Philippine colleagues; emotionally, culturally and practically. How do you create life changing work for people when you’ve got no access to social services or access to education, health and so forth?”
Chris tells me that Cognition Education began in 1989 as an organisation that provided reliable transport and payroll support to schools so that schools could focus on providing quality education. Over the years, they expanded into other fields of education and 2006, became Cognition Education Limited, offering a wider range support in all areas of education.
Cognition Education has grown continuously here and across the globe driven by a desire to make positive change in all areas of learning. Products and services range from early childhood education to post-secondary and vocational education. Cognition now has global partnerships all around the world in education with public and private sector clients in Australasia, the Pacific, South East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America. These days Chris's official title is: Project Leader/Consultant, Cognition Consulting.
Chris has a background in international development and a focus on informal education, youth development, and social entrepreneurship. More recently his work has also focused on the role of teachers and young people in supporting disaster resilience and recovery practices. Chris has designed and facilitated youth orientated workshops for UNICEF and UNESCO.
During his time at Cognition, Chris developed expertise in corporate social responsibility (CSR). He has been involved in the design, implementation and management of CSR projects throughout Southeast Asia, especially in emerging economies.
We've arrived at High Street, we park up and walk across the intersection. It's symbolic for Chris who survived both earthquakes which led to his UNESCO youth disaster leadership programme. Chris has bought me to this spot on purpose.
High Street is full of visual irony. A community garden and bike workshop sit centrepiece; between the pristine C-1 Café and the rubble of post-quake apartments looking like war torn Gaza. For Chris the shocking contrast symbolises what has been and where Christchurch can go for its rebuild, with community engagement.
Chris was a secondary teacher at Aranui High School at the time of both quakes. He and friend Sam Johnson from the Volunteer Army were concerned that the youth of Christchurch had no voice in the forums looking at the rebuild of the city. Then a friend working for an NGO in Fiji suggested Chris take 7 Pacifika students from Aranui high School to a UNESCO programme in Fiji. It was here the idea for the UNESCO Youth Disaster Leadership Project was born.
Six months after the quake, Chris co-led the project that saw Christchurch host 100 international students, survivors from disasters all around the world, from countries like Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan. The UNESCO project saw the students conduct forums and participate in community based rebuilding projects.
From here Chris began working with Cognition Education. The Axiata Young Leaders Programme came next in Malaysia. Learning centres were built in very isolated rural communities to help youth get access to high quality education but also to democracy in education and participation in community development.
His project challenged these rural schools, communities and businesses to think about educating their youth differently. Chris was traversing multi-fatih communities with the added challenge of working with Islamic, traditional Hindu, strict Confucius and an old school "British" style adherance to education.
The Axiata project helped these communities to look at student centred education instead, where the youth proactively took their education back into their community.
And as for the future? Chris is very excited to be working on a project with Google to bring technology to public schools in rural communities in Indonesia again - to give isolated youth global access to learning. Chris is also kicking off a PHD exploring how teachers live and teach in areas in the world highly vulnerable to disaster or political change - countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Indonesia.
As a teacher in these countries, when you've got so little and access to nothing - how do you create meaningful change? What do you do in a disaster? As a teacher how do you take a lead, look after your students and contribute to your community?
One thing for certain - Chris will be making "good waves" where ever he goes.
