'A family thing': What drives three Tauranga brothers to spend their free time helping others
"As well, when we first started volunteering with the Coastguard, that was a family thing."
The Kiwi family travelled around South East Asia helping non-government organisations for several years before putting down roots in Tauranga in
Signing up to the Tauranga Coastguard was one of the first things the family did, and they did it all together, Aaron said.
"There's something to be said for looking out to the harbour and knowing I've got a part to play," Aaron said.
"I'm contributing to a field where I can actually bring some skills to the table and be professional in what we do. It's cool to be part of that team, learning the skills and working on them together."
The Peeters brothers also work full-time. Levi is employed as a firefighter at Tauranga Airport, Aaron is a shipping co-ordinator at the Port of Tauranga and Ethan works as a machinery operator at the port.
