Play a guessing game and help me fundraise for a great cause

Roanna from Botany Downs

Hi all,
Hope you're all staying well and safe during the lockdown.
I've been doing origami to pass the time and got an idea to try and raise funds for a charity I support - HELP Auckland.
Help me help them, and have a little fun with this origami crane guessing game: act2help.everydayhero.com...
A lot of non-profit organisations will have their operations affected by the lockdown and I want to do my part to support them.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity :)

The crane is a symbol of hope, happiness and healing. For people who have been hurt by sexual violence, HELP Auckland is there to support them, give them hope and provide a way forward, towards healing and happiness.
During the lockdown, there will be many survivors of sexual abuse who will continue to need HELP Auckland’s support. Their crisis and therapy services help survivors to deal with their trauma and take care of their mental wellbeing.
Be kind and stay safe everyone! We can get through this together.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
