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

Can we do better than fishing with plastic? Beads from fishing lures. Found the plastic and steel-barbed lure on Taka Beach this morning. Plenty of barefooted kids and furry friends down there today.

Check out the low Kms!!
This car has only had 2 owners. the original owner was in their 90's and had it from new and I've had it for 2yrs (Covid times), hence low kms.

It's a gorgeous car to drive, lots of room for a family, or business if doing long distance.
It has leather upholstery with heated front seats. Very comfortable.
The grey colour has a warm hue to it (not steel grey).
Has the panoramic sunroof, which can be positioned a couple of ways as displayed.

Comes with original manual, as many bells and whistles ;)
Reluctant sale due to personal circumstances.
Have advertised on Marketplace also so you can PM me.

Price: $14,950
