Nurturing Families charity URGENT APPEAL in "dire need of children's clothing from newborn to 10 years"

Julia from Henderson

🚨 URGENT APPEAL: We're in dire need of children's clothing from newborn to 10 years old. The demand is unprecedented, and our donations are depleting rapidly. Today alone, we have 76 orders we can't fulfill due to insufficient stock.

Please ensure donated items are in good condition—no rips, stains, or holes. If you wouldn't pass it to a loved one please kindly refrain from donating it. Your help in washing and sorting items by size would immensely speed up our distribution process.

We are 6/42 Henderson Valley road. Open 9-2 Monday- Thursday
The items you donate will clothe a child in need of some warmth and together we can really make a difference! ❤️

to address this dire need, they are opening up for a one off delivery drop in over THIS weekend. - Saturday 8 May, 10am to 3pm - 6/42 Henderson Valley Road

if you're in West Auckland please consider supporting this awesome charity either with donations (CURRENTLY as of 4 June "dire need of children's clothing from newborn to 10 years") (or with TIME*)

if you can't help with donations, ALL GOOD - maybe consider donating your TIME - lending a hand with help (an hour or two of extra hands can really make a difference)

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???

Markus from Green Bay

“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.

On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.

[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.

Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.

Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
