A much-loved community garden that was destroyed by a rogue vehicle has been restored, thanks to a group of MPTT trainees.
RāWiri Community House provides services to the Manurewa community including free drivers licence theory courses, helping people search for jobs and working with homeless people in the area.
Earlier this year, the gardens at the centre were damaged when a car went through the front fence.
Eight MPTT trainees from Manukau Institute of Technology got stuck in to help and made the project their own – with some even making artwork for the fence around the garden.
At MPTT, we encourage all our trainees to get involved with community projects. Not only is it a chance to use their skills – and learn new ones – it adds meaning to their mahi by giving back to the community.
