Sarah and Ben went out with the amazing group of student volunteers who have been assisting residents all over Christchurch, following the 7.1 magnitude earthquake on September 4.
Over 900 students were out on September 9, clearing driveways and backyards of silt, manning roadblocks for the council, and offering their services anywhere they could.

It's 60 years since the first ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and sherpa Tenzing Norgay.
Scaling the world's tallest peak was much more challenging back in the 1950's.
Today, the climb is more popular than ever, but there are concerns about overcrowding.
