Bookathon to boost reading launched next month

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Blind Low Vision NZ is launching a bookathon to inspire children to get reading.

The Great Kiwi Bookathon is being rolled out in June to promote reading and to raise funds for people suffering from vision loss.

Registrations are now open for parents to sign up their children- and themselves- to read as many books as they can.

Participants are encouraged to seek sponsorship to raise funds for Blind Low Vision NZ.

Go to bookathon.co.nz to register online.

The long weekend is the perfect time to make your place safer for an earthquake with these steps:

• Find out where you can turn off your water and gas mains
• Check your chimney for any signs of wear and tear, or damage
• Check your home's foundations are secured
• Move heavy items that are up high to safer, lower down locations.
• Secure tall and heavy furniture and appliances

These simple actions can keep your whānau safer in case of a big shake, so tick them off and make the most of your break.
