A short youtube video introducing you to this valuable service run by the NZ government.

Volunteering New Zealand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHjueW2ypmw&feature=player_embedded

In November, 2010, Jay, a  Korean film maker interviewed and filmed Niharika & Christine from CA matches to promote volunteering in the Korean Communities in NZ.  The advocate and Protégé are 23 years old and are an amazing match.  Christine’s dream is to become a writer and recently she attended her first meeting with 14 writees!!!

The video is partly in Korean, but stay with it as it is mostly in English and tells you a lot about the benefits of volunteering.
