Claire Solomon

Yes, volunteering IS glamorous !!

Conservation work on Motutapu Island gives Claire a sense of achievement - and a sanctuary to escape to.

Claire has been volunteering with us since November 2008. Next Magazine recently ran an article about her activities with us on the island as part of their 'Living Simply' series. We are delighted that Next are happy for us to use some of their material for our 'Volunteer of the Month' series.

Glenys and Val

These girls are two of our very favourite nursery regulars !! Glenys and Val also take a keen interest in heritage
aspects of the island (they just love that old stone staircase that was rediscovered cut into the sea wall at Home Bay.
They take every opportunity to walk up and down it ...when they're not in the nursery, that is.)

Pakuranga College visited the island during August and helped plant landscape the DoC camp ground in Home Bay. They did a
fantastic job. Ace Pakuranga College volunteer, Ben Dowdle (pictured centre left), wrote the following account:
