Work for former refugees

Helen Neighbourly Lead from Dinsdale

The Refugee Orientation Centre Trust gets several enquiries for work by former refugees. Some do not have a full command of English but they are keen to work and learn. Any odd jobs are welcome e.g. lawn mowing, weeding, cleaning, etc. The job can be for a day, a few hours, regular or irregular. It is work and they are willing! Please respond to 07 847 6968 or email director@roctrust.org.nz

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
