Our Place, Stories of Local Life Book
Some of you may be aware of the community project Kate Dobbin and I have been doing this year profiling people in our neighbourhood in the hopes of fostering greater connection. What started as a social media initiative @LocalLifeNZ is now a book: Our Place - Stories of Local Life. Devonport 2020. The book is now available at Paradox Books in Devonport.
100% of proceeds from the book to go back into our local community to support mental wellness.
