Are you a retired tradie? Can you help the younger generation?

The Mangere-based Ara Education Charitable Trust is inviting volunteers to share skills and knowledge on a one-off, or an ongoing, basis. Retired tradespeople could help by working with the students, says John Vazey, senior health, safety and wellbeing business partner at Auckland Airport.

Students are working on a number of projects, including the Forever House, transforming it from a derelict house into a sustainable low-cost home to be returned to the community. Volunteers will work alongside AECT tutors and the students in classroom and hands-on projects.

Do you want to pass on some of your skills and knowledge? Get in touch with the team by emailing editor@foreverproject.co.nz

In its second year, this scholarship supports women who are the primary financial providers for their families.

The recipient can use the funds for tuition, books, transportation, or any other costs directly related to their education.

Eligibility:
• Women with dependents (e.g., children, spouses, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, grandparents)
• Struggling to meet family’s financial needs while attending school or a training programme.

We understand the unique challenges faced by women, and our selection process considers their financial need. Applicants are required to submit a personal statement, which remains confidential and accessible only to Soroptimist Club members and award judges.

Apply between 1 June and August 15 2023, by emailing sinorthshore@siswp.org or completing the online application. For more information, visit our Facebook page: Soroptimist North Shore.

Together, let’s empower women to lead through education.
