Inviting volunteers
Hello everyone!
We at Kowhai Rest home are looking for volunteers. Do you have an awesome personality? Are you good in dealing with people? Why not spend an hour or two with our residents on the resthome. Be part of our amazing team and make the residents life much colourful with your time and presence.
You can play board games, do arts and crafts, go for walks, do puzzles, trivias and quizzes or just simply spend an hour or two just socializing or conversing with our lovely residents.
If anyone is interested please flick us a message her or call our rest home at (03 3326630) and look for Alison Ward our facility manager or Patrick Atilano our Diversional Therapist.
Hope to hear from you soon. :)
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
