It’s in full working order, no scratches on the screen, all pixels are working. Also had the original remote. The only reason we’re getting rid of it is because we’ve moved to 4K.

“After hatching, we swim downstream and emerge in the harbour where we live for part of our life cycle. After about 3 to 5 months we begin our journey back to where we came from, which in some cases means overcoming stormwater pipes, concrete shoots and culverts.

This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.
You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...
Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.
For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz
