Two Tauranga teenagers, Courtney Tilby and Olivia Scott-Price, are hoping to gain the support of builders in their effort to build a house in the slums of Mexico.
They have obtained a 20ft NZL Cube shipping container that they are auctioning off for a two month rental, with proceeds going towards their house-building trip.

Cherie Hawkins from NZL and Kerri and Courtney Tilby.

"I know there are heaps of builders who would love to experience what I'm getting to experience" says Courtney Tilby.
"This way, it's like I can help build on their behalf.
"We'll bring back loads of before and after photos, and the builders will be able to display them and say 'I helped build that'. I reckon that would be a cool thing for them to share with their clients."
NZL Group regularly supports community groups by donating the use of a shipping container for various projects, and staff are pleased to be able to help Courtney and Olivia with their Mexico Building Project.

The use of the 20ft Shipping Container is Auction Number 306238404 on Trade Me, and the auction closes on August 5. Anyone who would like to make a donation to the project should phone Courtney and Olivia's mother, Kerri Tilby, on 07 571 8819 or email [email protected]
