REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT either using our services, purchasing our product, employing one of our amazing staff who can demonstrate capability and trustworthiness or sponsoring one of our academy students.” Geoff said the organisation would like to see the Dunedin community owning and taking on the responsibility for caring for intellectually disabled people. “Businesses will flourish in societies that care.” It has longstanding relationships with a number of organisations, including Escea, Donaghy, Alexander Marketing, Otago University, Tuapeka GP, Dunedin City Council, and Cook North & Wong. The ideal work is light, clean, and repetitive, such as basic assembly, labelling, and packing, Geoff said. “We can help on-line businesses that want us to hold their stock, pack, and dispatch when orders are made.” Geoff said the way forward for intellectually disabled people was for society to embrace the community and become more inclusive. “When we open our hearts to learn from disabled people, we find that they change our lives and workplaces for the better, their engagement and involvement could even cause our communities, cities, and, ultimately, our nation to flourish.” 1st Floor Savoy Building, Moray Place, Dunedin 9016 PO Box 867, Dunedin 9054 P 03 479 0669 www.cooknorthwong.com Malcolm Wong Amy McFadzien BEFORE 027 495 3319 | otago@kowhaiguys.co.nz | www.kowhairoofs.co.nz For high-quality, reliable service from people you can trust, give us a call today!
