Kia ora Whānau, Parents and Caregivers, As we head into the winter ski season, we wanted to share a great resource from a local, family-run business called Snow Kids. They specialise in providing pre-loved, secondhand ski and snowboard gear specifically for children and teenagers. Their goal is to make snow sports more affordable and accessible for families by offering quality gear at a fraction of the cost of buying new. If your children are heading up the mountain this season and need to get kitted out, you can check out their range and shop online directly. Website: www.snowkids.co.nz Facebook: Snow Kids NZ

Kia ora Whānau, Parents and Caregivers, Are you able to host a boy from Japan? We need a family with no cats or dogs to host in July. Can you help?
