This is an inspiring story from Ōtepoti of how you can combine preserving colonial heritage buildings, and provide good for the community at the same time. As always, when different and disparate groups work together, wonderful things can be achieved.

- Took the subway, which I have been phobic about. But I need to get over that. It was fine. I mean, actually it was crowded and the platforms were hot and some of the elevators were out of service but it wasn’t scary, I directed a lost foreigner, and I made it home safely in a reasonable time.
