Kia ora koutou, 

If you or someone you know is trying to get back to South America, Xtravel is working with LaTam airlines on a possible chartered cargo flight at the end of September.

There are limited seats available and the date is to be confirmed but priority will be given on a first come, first served basis.

2 x pieces of baggage weighing up to 23kgs each + 7kgs of carry-on baggage are included.

We would be grateful if you could share this information through your networks.  Anyone interested should register their interest with Xtravel Queenstown (Ph. 03 442 9815 / 0800 23 23 20 info@xtravel.co.nz).

We are seeking a superstar general helper or two at Paradise Trust. While the main emphasis will be on cleaning our accommodations and setting up for guests, there will be a variety of tasks you might be asked to assist with as no day in Paradise is the same.

This is a casual position with a minimum of 6 hours per week with expectations of this increasing significantly in summer. If you can work with flexible hours and can commit to some weekend work and you’d love to be part of the new team at Paradise, please send a cover letter stating your skills and include your CV to:  manager@paradisetrust.co.nz

Spring is in the air here at Paradise and we've got our planning hats on for our next Volunteer Day. Join us on Saturday12th of September (10am – 4pm) for a day of mucking in, followed by a BBQ and cold beverage with your fellow workers.

We're also offering a 50% discount on our accommodation on the night of the 11th & 12th of September for our volunteers (please contact us directly on 03 442 9956 / info@paradisetrust.co.nz )
