Charity House becomes family home
The result of this year's Charity House Auction was win-win-win.
The student-built house is a great learning experience for ākonga, the Prasad family have a spiffy new home, and the $385,000 auction price will benefit local charities.
The new homeowners are Shureta, Rahul, 12-year-old Aryan, and Ashreya, aged 10. Aryan and Ashreya are very excited about their new bedrooms.
‘‘It’s a great house and the carpentry students have done a really good job on it and it looks really nice the way they’ve finished it all off — it looks very smart," says Rahul.
‘‘We’re just happy we could contribute back to the community this way and support the students’ education.’’
The Prasad family is moving the house to their property in Westwood, and are looking forward to move-in day. It's great to know that the hard work of our ākonga has created a wonderful, warm family home.
