"Democracy in Trouble? Insights from a Democracy promoter".

After the fall of the Iron Curtain, it appeared that democracy was in ascendancy. From 1995 to 2017 foreign aid specialist Steven Gray worked in 14 countries on democracy promotion projects. With our own elections front of mind, he will lead the discussion about how New Zealand compares to lower-income countries in transition to democratically elected government.

Steven's speciality was providing expertise in participatory management, strategic planning, training and program evaluation to community-based and governmental organizations. He will highlight his experience in building capacity for free and fair elections in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Storage Ideas For The Bathroom

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Ladder shelves are very affordable and take up minimal room. They’re perfect for rolled towels and accessories that can live on the bottom shelves with more important products on the top.

Utilise the back of the bathroom door to hide towels, swimsuits and bathrobes by using some hanging hooks.
