Melbin likens his voluntary role at the Tōtara Club in Riccarton to that of being treated as a special guest and no wonder given his kindness and willingness to help others.
Until recently, Melbin had been a volunteer van assistant for the Enliven service after ‘Googling’ for opportunities to meet new people.
What he found was the opportunity to take care of older people as he had done similar work back in his native India.
