The interdisciplinary tradie!

Poppa from Grey Lynn

Someone I was doing an odd job for recently comment how great it was to have one person who could take care of it all. Tradies like plumbers or electricians often walk away having done their bit but leave you with a job half done - perhaps a hole in the wall or untiled surface.

Poppa Jim's Odd Jobs and Creative Solutions is truly an interdisciplinary tradie who can tackle most aspects of the job. Send Poppa Jim a message to see what he can do for you.

Are you a retired tradie? Can you help the younger generation?

The Mangere-based Ara Education Charitable Trust is inviting volunteers to share skills and knowledge on a one-off, or an ongoing, basis. Retired tradespeople could help by working with the students, says John Vazey, senior health, safety and wellbeing business partner at Auckland Airport.

Students are working on a number of projects, including the Forever House, transforming it from a derelict house into a sustainable low-cost home to be returned to the community. Volunteers will work alongside AECT tutors and the students in classroom and hands-on projects.

Do you want to pass on some of your skills and knowledge? Get in touch with the team by emailing editor@foreverproject.co.nz
