Be a conversation partner with a mature overseas student - ELTO programme

Tim from Kelburn

Full for now - but recruiting volunteers for next cohort; mid-August for three months.

If you'd like to meet up with a participant on the English Language Training for Officials programme through Victoria University, see the attached flyer.
Participants, who are government officials from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Timor-Leste or Vietnam, are paired with a local conversation partner to chat and hopefully meet up once a week while they are here. The aim is to develop the participants' English and their knowledge of New Zealand/Wellington.

Chats can be about anything, but are often about life here/SE Asia, and can be anywhere, but are often in cafes, parks, homes, etc. More details on attached flyer (note the flyer is for the current cohort, not the next [who will focus on resiliance as a theme]).

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
