How Geostuff originated

How Geostuff originated…
My experience as an advisor made me realise that there was a need to support Social Science teachers, particularly Geography teachers around New Zealand. I want to be able to support teachers in their everyday teaching needs and to give something back that would ease the work load – hence Geostuff Ltd.
