BrotherHood
Kia ora Whanau,
I’m currently on my placement for Wintec down at Te Ahurei a Rangatahi in the city. Been blessed with the opportunity to serve in an awesome support group called ‘Brotherhood’, which focuses on the health and wellbeing of young males age 12-18yrs who are either not engaging in school maybe a little rough around the edges or your young one just wants to hang out!!. Activities are fun based and revolve around sport, self defence (martial arts), life skills, graffiti art/hip hop and outings, in and around the Waikato area. We meet every Wed 5:00pm-8:30pm with a mean feed to end the night and we also drop off after! If you could be interested, please don’t hesitate to leave a message.
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.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
