Volunteer Mentors Needed for Refugees to Learn to Drive
Volunteers Needed to Teach Former Refugees to Drive
It's music to our ears whenever our refugee background learners share that they got full-time job after getting their licence. Can you help us help more beginner drivers to pass their practical driving tests?
Those who don't have a driver's licence have extra challenges: simply getting around, attending job interviews, appointments or taking children to school.
Supporting a former refugee to learn to drive is a practical way of helping them settle in their new country.
We need volunteer mentors to support new learners for August-December 2020 intake.
As a volunteer, you will be given full training and the use of a dual-controlled car. Email expression of interest to openroad.migrantaction@gmail.com or call Amie - 021 028 487 80
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
