Learning, Laughing and Lending a Hand
We are looking for a compassionate, patient and energetic person to be a peer mentor for 14 year old high functioning Autistic boy. He is looking for some support to help him build his confidence, try new things and have some fun. He loves Gaming (mainly Minecraft and Roblox), board games and all things Star Wars. He would love a companion when he plays with the dog, bakes, rides his bike or just hangs out at home. His Autism means that he struggles in social situations, and he needs a friendly face alongside him to help him get back out and about.
If you are reliable, encouraging and chatty this could be just the role you are looking for. This job is in Huapai and is 3 hours a week – ideally 3 visits in a week, but we are pretty flexible.
If you are interested please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
