Responses to August 2005 Hot Topic

Australian Observations ~ an interview with Susan J Ellis

By Andy Fryar

Response posted on August 4, 2005 by Ruth Gardner, Manager, Volunteering Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand

In your August Hot Topic interview with Susan Ellis she says "The fascinating thing about my visit to New Zealand is that apparently this was one of the very first times the "volunteer community" there worked together nationally!"

I'd like to reassure Susan that in fact the New Zealand volunteer centres have been net working and communicating nationally ever since Volunteering Canterbury (the second NZ Volunteer Centre) opened in 1988. Since then we have shared resources, held national meetings, organised national conferences, and were instrumental in setting up Volunteering New Zealand in 2001.

Its not too late...

Let's hear what you think!
