Meet Parminder Singh (Punjabi) who shares his journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi:
“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities in Auckland. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”

Fire and Emergency New Zealand continues to work on the fire at the New Zealand International Convention Centre on Hobson Street and expects to continue working throughout the day.
Hello
I have had some logs delivered to my property. I need someone with a chain saw to cut them into smaller pieces so that i can cut it into smaller pieces for the fire place.
Any good reasonable team out there?
Thanks
