Glenfield Shops

Parked outside the shop and retrieved unlidded carton from car, took three paces, only to be accosted by two women who immediately began to sort through the contents of the box as I held it! They quickly helped themselves to what they wanted and went on their way. Of course, you are standing there with your hands full and are taken by surprise, and it's all over in a flash. When I thought about it though, it is cheeky petty theft - taken from you, and from the charitable organisation you support.The two indivdiuals did not look poor nor underprivileged, (just pushy) and are probably better off than a lot of folk the Sallie's proceeds help. So be warned! Donations in boxes with lids if possible, and park close to door.. I'll be ready next time!
That way, the real people worthy of support get it.

About Neighbour's Day ( neighboursday.org.nz... ):

Tasked by Lifewise and Takapuna Methodist Church to find new and innovative ways to support local neighbourhoods, Rebecca Harrington – passionate community advocate – came across the following finding: many people today recognise they are isolated from their neighbours, yet are unsure what to do about it. After hearing that planned neighbourhood celebrations were becoming commonplace worldwide, Rebecca sought to establish a similar annual campaign in New Zealand, now celebrated annually as Neighbours Day Aotearoa. Initially launched by Lifewise in Auckland in 2009, Neighbours Day Aotearoa became a nationwide initiative and campaign in 2011.

An amazing reaction

Paul from Devonport

Thank you if you read (or liked) my post about Chch a couple of days ago. I actually wrote it last Tues and was late to post it here; it almost seemed a bit 'out of date'. What I realise since is just how incredibly the country responded with love/aroha to the Muslim community. … View moreThank you if you read (or liked) my post about Chch a couple of days ago. I actually wrote it last Tues and was late to post it here; it almost seemed a bit 'out of date'. What I realise since is just how incredibly the country responded with love/aroha to the Muslim community. I've always been a very proud Kiwi, and just now I couldn't be any prouder. Close to five million people and still feels like a community. Fantastic.
