Yesterday was such an amazing day!  The Deloitte Auckland interns all had the opportunity to go to a volunteer day, this year at Muriwai Beach.

It was a chance to give back to the community and have all the interns together again.  We met outside Deloitte at 8.30am on a beautiful blue sky day, got on the bus and we were away!

Our volunteer activity this year was to help replant the flax at Muriwai beach. I can report back that today there are some sore muscles, blisters and few cuts. But I guess that exemplifies how the interns all gave 110%.  It was great to meet the friendly park rangers and I’ll certainly give them wave next time I’m there.

Not only did we get a BBQ lunch (yum!), the ever lovely Bridget and Hayley also provided us with morning tea, afternoon tea, snacks, drinks and also a delicious chocolate cake for one of the interns (it was her birthday, happy birthday Yvette!).  Even though we worked hard replanting the flax, I highly doubt anyone was hungry at the end of the day.

All in all, a great day and a very nice break in the working week.  Can’t ask for better.
