It’s a welcome return to New Zealand for the Red Bull Flugtag competition, which last graced our shores in 2004 when it was hosted in Wellington.

The competition will see amateur aviators design, build and then fly contraptions in a bid to be crowned winner.

The thousands of people set to descend upon Wynyard Quarter to see the event are likely to keep business booming for local hospitality hotspots.

For the full story, see below.

I am currently in the process of working as a youth mentor which is great. Would like to add another volunteer experience that would be in a role of care (i.e., working with refugees or children with learning disabilities). The work must be face to face to show I have had real experience. Please let me know if you know of any positions or can personally recommend any amazing organisation. I have a BA in Psychology and Sociology.
