Chinese Senior Community Incorporated

Our aim is to help Chinese seniors to settle and assimilate into NZ society. We encourage Chinese seniors to share cultural experiences with other ethnic groups and to educate local Kiwis about Asia. We help to educate using local knowledge about Kiwi values, such as strong community networks and voluntary activities.
