Meet Denise from Germany who wanted to learn about the language and culture of Aotearoa. “I wanted to engage with Māori and understand and honour the culture”.

I don’t know where I would be without this te reo journey. It was an incredible experience that has changed my life.
I am looking for a front passenger door window glass for my grand daughter's 1982 Mitsubishi Mirage. Does anyone know of one being parted out? Ideally, the whole door would be good.
