Volunteer to help someone get their driver licence!

Mylène from Grenada Village

Have you got the drive?

We’re looking for some remarkable women willing to volunteer their time to take a refugee-background woman for driving practice.

The learner drivers have had lessons with a driving school and need practice to prepare for their restricted or full licence test. The learner driver will provide the car for practice. Comprehensive training and ongoing support will be given to volunteers.

You’ll make a positive difference to her life and her family’s, receive training in new skills, increase your understanding of another culture and contribute to improving driver safety on the road.

Next training 24 February.

Contact: Contact Mylène or Susan at ChangeMakers TTC@crf.org.nz or call 027 627 3971

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
