A project to rebuild the Rawhiti (Bay of Islands) raft for the local community.
Rawhiti, Northland
A decade ago, my father in law donated a raft to the Rawhiti locals.
Times have been hard for the raft & our family which means we can't afford to fund the rebuild of the raft.
Rawhiti is pretty isolated & there isn't a huge amount for the local kids to do but they love swimming & the raft was very popular.
I'll do the rebuild myself & no doubt the locals will give me a hand.
The original build was nailed together which was a mistake. I'd like to rebuild it to last using stainless steel bolts & screws.
I'll do some sort of Instagram page for the raft so anyone who donates, can see the rebuild progress.
I'd like to do the work over the summer holidays.
The money raised will be used to buy the materials & to get them to Rawhiti. I have all the tools required.
I'm a member of the Rawhiti community
