Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.
Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.
My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.
Hi the house is in Maunu with a bush at the back of a 100sqm deck and a farm where you are allowed to go for walks. It's not far from town and at the end of a cul de sac. We get all sorts of different bush birds at different times and it is very peaceful and private.

It's not far from town and at the end of a cul de sac. We get all sorts of different bush birds at different times and it is very peaceful and private.
I am seeking a female boarder/flatmate for either a short or long-term stay.
You have a choice of bedroom 1 at $175pw or bedroom 2 also has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite at the opposite end of the house, with a lovely garden&bush view out the window for only an extra $20pw. There is also a dove who frequents near the window as I feed it seeds and in the garden, the magnolia is starting to flower.
Unlimited internet is included, as is water rates. Share power and do your own food. Not suitable for night shift workers, sorry.
Phone or text 027 5141 394 to find out more or you can just come and meet me and take a look. :-) Cheers, Jo

The former community hub has sat empty since the blaze, but design and procurement work is set to start soon, thanks to a $3m insurance payout and council funds of $1.5m for earthquake strengthening and accessibility. The physical work will start next year and will take up to two years. What do you think?

What's the best walk or hike where you live?
Stuff Travel has released its top five hikes in the Northland region out of more than 100 to choose from.

Please meet Alyce Read of Nelson, who uses her houseplant collection to connect with others and help them overcome mental health challenges. "You wouldn’t take a plant and put it in a dark corner and fail to water it and expect it to thrive. So we should look at ourselves that way," she says. "If we are not thriving in the way that we would wish, it might not be any fault of ours, it might be the conditions that we are under."
All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ to paying it forward in line at a cafe - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, build a free community library for your street, buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re spreading kindness this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
