Homelessness from the inside...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

When you’re homeless, sleeping under the New Zealand flag might just be a final defense. That’s what Six reckons.

When you’re homeless, sleeping under the New Zealand flag might just be a final defense. That’s what Six reckons.

Six doesn’t live on the streets any more but she hasn’t forgotten how if feels to fall. To find yourself without a roof, no corner of the world to call your own. She wanted to make sure other people understood what it’s like so she started a community paper about homelessness from the inside.

In The K’Rd Chronicles, we take to the streets of inner city Auckland and meet the people from Six’s world. Join Stuff over the next 8 weeks, as winter sets in, to learn about their struggle to change their lives … and to stay alive.

Volunteers with Auckland Coastguard have been recognised at this year’s New Zealand Search and Rescue Awards held at Parliament this week.

Congratulations to Jo Norgrove who received a Certificate of Achievement for her services to Coastguard and Search and Rescue.

Auckland Coastguard was awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Operational Activity for their involvement in the rescue of a badly injured yachtsman near Waiheke Island in March last year.

Coastguard Auckland volunteers Chris Griggs and Lynne Jacobsen received the award on behalf of the rest of the unit at the awards ceremony held in Wellington.

Griggs says it was an honour to accept the award on behalf of the unit.

“This rescue was a real team effort,” says Griggs. “We had no idea of the severity of the man’s injuries at first but once on scene we worked hard to bring the situation under control and provide as much comfort and pain relief as possible.”

On the night of the rescue, the Coastguard Auckland unit responded to the yachtsman ’s distress call who was badly burned after being engulfed in flames on board his vessel. Coastguard Auckland unit vessels, ASB Rescue and Li on Foundation Rescue, were tasked to locate and assist the casualty and then to transfer the yachtsman to the nearest land point where an ambulance and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter were waiting.

Griggs boarded the yacht to find the man sitting in the shower under the running water in an attempt to ease the discomfort from his burns. “The fire had caused significant burns to his arms, h ands and lower body. He had done the right thing by sitting under the cold water but in doing so had started to go hypothermic and was in immense pain,” says Griggs.

Once on board Lion Foundation Rescue, the man was carefully transferred to emergency services waiting onshore.

The judges said the Coastguard volunteers used their skills in a “highly stressful situation” where time was of the essence. By preventing further injury to the victim , the volunteers improved his chances of survival and recovery.

Auckland Coastguard relies on donations and sponsorship to deliver on our mission of "Saving lives at sea." If you can support us in any way, please get in touch with Owen Harrison on 09 303 9366 or owen@auckland-coastguard.org.nz

How to Write a Book in a Month and make passive income.
I would like to offer my expertise in writing both non fiction and fiction books in a month to anyone who is interested in finally writing that book you have always wanted to write.

Most people have a fictional book in them, or, are experienced in some hobby or field where they can share their expertise in a non fiction book or ebook that may be used to add an extra passive stream of income.

I know just what it takes to write either a fiction or non fiction book in a month as I have done this.
The following is a programme for fiction writers but if you are a non fiction writer I can also develop the program to cover writing a non fiction book in a month.

My programme would cover the following.
At the end of the 8 sessions I do give some basics for self publishing on Kindle, although just touching on these subjects.

Prepping your book:Week 1 - 5

Fiction:
Idea and Genre
Setting, Era & Backdrop & Plot
Characters
Structure & Synopsis
Point of View POV

Writing your first 50 Pages: Week 6

How to stay on track with your plot
Types of Beginnings (Prologue or other introduction)
Goal Setting (word count)
How to write and don’t stop (Best habits and tips)

The next two sections will be covered very briefly in the 7th and 8th week

Editing:
Types of editors and will you employ one or more or will you edit yourself.
Beta Readers
Cover design
Front and back cover copy
Inside cover page
How to format for Kindle
How to publish on Kindle
How to promote on Kindle

One on one modules sent to your email after each session for your reference.

At the end of the 8 sessions the participants will have the knowledge to be able to write a 50,000 first draft book in a month.
The 8 sessions are made up of 8 x 30 minute sessions followed by homework or activities to complete for the next session.

Each new session has a 15 minute revision and sharing of homework activities.

Message me if you are interested. Or phone 021500759

Price: $65
