Sweet at heart? Two classic desserts prepared by our Foundation cooks - A delicious twist on a classic Kiwi Pavlova, rolled up into a roulade and filled with Lemon curd cream. An authentic New York baked cheese cake with a garnish of strawberry compote.
My daughter is 16 years old and really eager to enter the workforce, during school holidays, after school and weekends. She is happy to work in any job in West Auckland during these hours.
Thanks in advance,
Maria

For many of the 16000 soldiers, April 25, 1915 marked their first day of combat.
And by that night, 2000 had been killed or maimed.
We remember our Auckland veterans and fallen soldiers with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.
Here are letters from Michael Menzies, a Prisoner of War in Japan, to his friend Norm Ryder:
6/5/45
Dear Norm,
Still existing and anticipating a speedy reunion.
Appreciate your kind thoughts and wishes.
I often have the Queen St blues and a perpetual Waitemata thirst and occasionally a nicotine fit.
Received three of your letters and am anxiously
awaiting for more.
Your Affectionate Pal
Snowy
Michael Menzies' letter to his relatives:
2/12/43
Dear Auntie Kate and Ange,
I received your very welcomed letter dated May 25th on Nov 25 th.
Although Jack has received a parcel from St Johns Association London and a very brief letter from Kathleen, this is the first I have received in twenty two long months.
I had given up all hope of getting mail so imagine the thrill it gave me.
There is only one thing I need Auntie and that is news, especially of Pat.
Please don’t keep it from me if anything has happened to him for that would only hurt me all the more.
I can’t help but think the worst has happened to him.
How is everyone in New Zealand?
I have made several radio broadcasts from here, did you hear any of them?
Of course I know you’ll understand when I tell you that our correspondence is limited in more ways than one.
Please don’t send money as you suggested, but a few packs of cigarettes, gum, and a photo would be very welcome.
Apart from a few attacks of asthma Jack is very well and sends his love to all.
I assure you Auntie that you have no need to worry so much over Jack or myself as we are both together which makes it much easier on me and under the circumstances the treatment is fair enough.
There are many things I want to ask you and tell you but unfortunately they will have to wait until peace has been restored once more to this mad world.
Well auntie I sincerely hope this letter finds you in the very best of health and
Along with it I send the seasons greetings and all my love.
Lots and lots of love.
Mick

Captain Ernest Hugh Densem of the New Zealand Army Medical Corps 2nd New Zealand Expedition wrote this letter to daughter Mary McNair, who lives in New Lynn:
Medical Headquarters
Trentham
10.6.45
Dear Mary,
Daddy received your letter. You remember you told me about John going to Sunday School all by himself with Mr Hawkey.
I’m glad you liked the bonfire.
There was a very good drawing of it in one of your other letters that wasn’t there.
We had some funny bonfires here one night.
There were a lot of flowers and the soldiers shot flames out of their guns like this:
Mummy says you sleep in a different room now.
Where does Auntie Eva sleep?
Daddy.
