Whanau Net

Kia ora Kia ora Kia ora!!

Ka nui te mihi roa e te whanau

I know this sounds obvious but what do you use the internet for?

Over the next week, I will be bringing a series of interviews with whanau whom I know utilise the internet in their everyday lives.

From those who keep in touch with whanau to those who work from home, I want to move beyond the technical and open up korero around practical uses of the internet.

For now, here's 2 valuable ways that Whanau Net helps us.

The first is that I received this panui from Aunty Norma Sturley (kia ora aunty Norma!), wh had it forwarded to her by Tina Ngatai.  That means PANUI are digital and are gold.

The second is that is a for an open vacancy.

Titito mai!

Raptor Conservation Intern @ Wingspan – Rotorua

Position Available; September 2016 – March 2017

Hours; 8 hours per day, 5 days per week (Sunday-Thursday), and must be available to work weekends, plus public and school holidays to the requirements of the programme.

As part of an extended, dedicated team of staff, members, and volunteers, Wingspan’s Board of Trustees are seeking a highly motivated person, to complement our multi-tasking small team unit, for a six month internship at the Wingspan National Bird of Prey Centre.

The position is twofold – it’s about working with people, and it’s about working with raptors.

This is considered an entry position and training will be provided. However, ideally, your passion and experience for conservation will contribute in core areas such as;

• Te Reo and protocols
• Communications, both oral and written
• Retail and customer interaction
• Captive management.

The Wingspan National Birds of Prey Centre is a conservation-based programme for New Zealand’s raptors including falcons, hawks and owls. Formerly registered as a charitable trust in 1992, Wingspan is established for the research, captive management, rehabilitation, and public awareness of New Zealand birds of prey. The Centre is based in Rotorua and remains the only national facility of its type in New Zealand.
