Being a working parent there have been times when he has had to come along to classes I teach at Literacy Aotearoa and from very young he has had interest in my learners and what they are learning and taken opportunities to get involved when he can.
He started coming along to Digital Seniors with me in the same way, as a school holidays tag along on Wednesday mornings at the Masterton Library, but as with most situations he found ways to make himself useful by offering his help and connecting with everyone around him as they were waiting for help from one of our coaches.
People started asking where he was when holidays were over and he had to go back to school.
Leo was asked to volunteer at the Masonic village by one of the other coaches, Andre, who runs a group there and who had noticed that Leo was eager to lend a hand when he could. The group meets after school hours and extra hands are always welcome.
I am really proud of the skills he has learned at 13! Planning a learning session and taking in to consideration people's learning needs, making a presentation, answering on the spot questions and answering clearly. Thinking about the steps to a process and explaining them with patience and recognising the skills someone already has and the next steps to build on them.
He's always keen for some feedback and eager to try new things in his approach to be as helpful as he can be.
I'm very thankful for the Digital Seniors community, coaches and clients, for encouraging and valuing him and for their patience with his learning as well, they have helped him grow and develop so cool life skills!
Leo gets a genuine kick out of being able to explain something that might make someone's life and technology use a bit easier, and from learning about people and their lives and is eager to head off each week to lend a hand."

We’re wondering what Wellingtonians think about the use of biometric identifiers to unlock devices. Not just physical markers such as fingerprints and facial recognition, but also behavioural characteristics such as finger movements and gestures.
Would you feel safer online if you didn’t have to remember a list of passwords? Or would you feel uneasy about your device being able to recognise you from your micro-movements, for example? And, have you ever had your personal information stolen?

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.
To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

We have considerable challenges to maintain our current network and be prepared for growth. Maintaining a balance between delivering affordable, clean and sufficient water must be balanced with ensuring our take does not adversely affect the eco-systems of the relevant waterways or result in environmentally harmful discharges.
Connect with us to talk about what we can do together. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page, and to share what you value about our water and your solutions have your say by following the link below.
