Want to learn a new skill - or use the one you have?

Grant from Raureka

Knowledge Bank is desperately in need of more volunteer scanners to start clearing a backlog of work. Scanning involves working with a camera system that is fairly easy to understand plus a bit of computer work. Supervision and training would be given - hours are what you can give - and support is available at all times. People here are friendly and happy and we'd love to have you come join us - if scanning isn't your thing we have a lot of other jobs to fill such as transcribing, oral interviews, and evaluation and proof reading. Some can be done from home - but our need for scanners is critical and that has to be done at Knowledge Bank in Omahu Road. Call Linda Bainbridge if you're interested on 06 833 5333 - we'd love to hear from you!

Sporting the bright purple and orange campaign shirts, these wonderful walkers hit the Auckland waterfront and marched from Mission Bay to Kohimarama, raising awareness for bowel cancer and the importance of early detection along the way.
