Reading proves key for gangster turned pastorBAYLEY MOOR/FAIRFAX NZ Richard Nahi says reading is key to a good life. "Since childhood it has haunted me not being able to read and write," the former gang member turned pastor from Northland said. While there were resources at school for him to learn Nahi says his family environment prevented him from learning. When someone says 'you're dumb, you can't learn' that's what you believe." The Adult Literacy Rural Trust are looking for volunteers to run a 'literacy hub' at the Kaikohe Library.
