Sisters start business building what others despise: flat-packs

Danielle Clent Reporter from Western Leader

Good morning neighbours,
Two local sisters are saving one marriage at a time with their business venture of constructing flat-pack furniture.
Jala Hooker, 9, and 8-year-old Aalia Hooker started Flatpack Girls about two months ago, following a homework task that involved coming up with a business idea.
Both Jala and Aalia said they find building flat-packs enjoyable. While they do get a little help from their dad who checks the instructions and puts weight on the power drill, they do most of the work themselves.
Click the link to read more of this story - and to find out how the girls are donating some of their earnings to charity.

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?
