Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

Great news that the no-stopping lines and other paintwork has now been completed at the new pedestrian refuge on Coronation Road.

I escalated this to Auckland Transport last week after a number of incidents and traffic holdups due to parked cars blocking access around the refuge. The paintwork was in the original plan but hadn't been done. Thanks Auckland Transport for getting the contractor to sort this out so quickly :)
