About four in five people renting are unable to comfortably afford mortgage payments, recent Government statistics show. Many Kiwis are fleeing expensive cities like Auckland in search of affordable housing in the regions - and they're not looking back.

As the month of June rolls upon us, marking the end of the traditional harvesting time, we pause for reflection as the constellation of Matariki will soon reappear in the sky to mark the start of the Māori New Year – a time for remembering the past, reflecting on the present, and gathering hopes for new beginnings. At Wellington Central Library we have organised the following free events and promotions to mark and celebrate Matariki.
Emerging Winter Food Traditions (12.30 pm Mon June 18th)
For this korero we have invited Kelda Hains and Lois Daish who will discuss preservation and fermentation around Matariki as the time following harvest.
An introduction to whakapapa research resources (12.30 pm Tues June 19th
)
The next event is a look at resources for researching whakapapa and some examples of how these resources can be used, this again fits with the ideas of whānau coming together at Matariki.
He Taonga te Reo – What’s in a name? (12.30 pm Fri June 22nd)
A presentation on the intricacies of naming places in today’s democratic society : he kōrero by Neavin Broughton
#MatarikiMash
In the lead up to Matariki we will also be running our twitter word play promotion “Matariki Mash” from 11 June where we invite you to play along by creating a story that uses the four selected Māori words for the day (don’t forget the hashtag #matarikimash). So follow us on twitter and get involved!

Pregnant young girls (between the ages of 12 and 23) come to The House of Grace because they need to be in a safe, loving home environment. They need a place to prepare for childbirth, where they can learn how to safely parent a new baby, how to run a household, and are supported to make plans for a bright future. Our home in Wellington is in desperate need of fixing, our roof is leaking, windows are drafty and it's time to do something about it!
Please read on with the link below to givealittle to see how you can make a big difference.

Martine arrived in this country as a refugee from the genocide and civil war in Rwanda.
“The journey to get from the home where I spent the early years of my life, to being resettled in Palmerston North is laden with many memories I would not wish on my worst enemy. One day we were going to school as normal, the next, we were wondering when it would be our turn to die. Death was on our doorstep and on our lips for the next while. New Zealand certainly came to our rescue.”
A buffet dinner will be served at 6.15pm with Martine’s address at 7pm, followed by questions from the floor. We expect the meeting to conclude by 8.00pm.
The venue is The Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, Tawa and there is a charge of $25.00 for the 2-course buffet meal, payable on the night.
RSVP by midday next Monday, 18 June, to: tawarotaryclub@gmail.com #TawaRotary #Rotary
