I have been a volunteer for IHC since December 2009. My friend's name is Joy and she lives nearby. We have been enjoying everyday activities together such as going out to coffee, shopping, visiting the beaches, the movies, library, restaurants etc. This term Joy is registered at the Manukau Institute of Technology's FreeB Computer classes. We attend classes every Saturday morning at the Selwyn Arcade in Papakura. Through keyboarding, Joy is learning to type, read and write. Since meeting Joy my confidence of driving in Auckland has improved as it is so much nicer to have a friend to run around with.
IHC is always in need of volunteers. If you can spend one or two hours a week in selfless service, while doing the things you love, please get in touch.
Volunteers make a difference!

Kapo kapo nga whetu
Hei whaakaaro ki a u
He rangi o te ao
Penei i te taimana
Kapo kapo nga whetu
Hei whaakaaro ki a u
Twinkle, twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are
Ma te wheturangi o Matariki,
e tiaki mai,
e manaaki mai i a koe,
i a kotou ranei,
mo te tau e taka mai ana.
May the gentle light of Matariki guide and inspire you all this year.
“Let us hope for big things, not only what is good for us, but what is good for the whole.
Impossible hopes – let us even dare to hope for those.
What if the world calls us dreamers!
Let us dream those dreams which will lift us from doubt, fear, selfishness and self-seeking.
Let us soar high with the wings of hope and dream into the transcendental.”
[Swami Paramananda]
