Ka pai Preteze & KiyaSuch an exciting day today! We partnered with Learn To Drive and Ōpunakē High School to take 10 students and 3 community members through for their learner's licence tests. A huge thank you to Learn to Drive and Therese from AA who brought the mobile testing unit out to the coast for the day. And another huge thank you to Constable Chloe Ashton (pictured with Preteze and Kiya) who took the students through much of their preparation and training. None of this would be possible without Toi Foundation! What an AWESOME way to end the week! #BringingCommunitiesTogether #TogetherWeAchieveMore ... See MoreSee Less
