Mangere group leaving October

On Friday October 9th, a group of 140 families and individuals from a refugee background, left the Mangere Refugee Reception Centre after a six week orientation programme. They are now settling into their new communities in the Auckland region, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Hutt Valley, Porirua and Nelson with the assistance of our cross cultural workers, social workers, local coordinators and our many dedicated volunteers.

If you are interested in becoming one of our valued volunteer support workers, we would love to hear from you. Please do contact one of our offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Porirua, Hutt Valley, Wellington, Nelson or Christchurch through our "How you can help" section or our "Contact" section.
