The Government wants Aucklanders to save 20L of water a day. But what does that mean at your house?
Buying efficient appliances and fixing one-off leaks can make huge water savings, but so can small changes to daily habits.

Meet Parminder Singh (Punjabi) who shares his journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi:
“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities in Auckland. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”
Share in Parminder’s experience and enquire now for 2020. These programmes are tuition fee free!

185 gms Butter
1 cup Caster Sugar (or 3/4 cup Xylitol to make it sugarfree)
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Flour (use a gluten free flour to make it glutenfree)
1 cup Sunflower Seed Flour (or Almond Flour)
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 Whole Oranges (or citrus fruit of choice)
To prepare the oranges - chop into pieces, discard seeds, cover with water and cook in microwave for 10mins, or on stove top for about 15 mins. Strain off water and process oranges in a food processor until skins are chopped into very small pieces.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix in flour and baking powder then the oranges.
Bake in a moderate oven until cooked.
