Donate now to Blessings For Africa to help children in need.

Lisa McCarter from Blessings For Africa

Hi Neighbours!

A big thank you to everyone who has so kindly donated to Blessings For Africa. Our cause is important to us and it's very heartening to know that it is just as important to you too.

If you would like to help, you can, by donating any of the following items:

Bric-a-brac
Good usable clothing/linen
Small furniture
Home Décor
Electronics etc.

The donated goods are sold in New Zealand and the proceeds are used to support those in need in South Africa. Due to Covid, the poverty crises has deepened ever further, so there is a massive need for assistance. At the moment our focus is mainly on children living in poverty and who don't have parents to care for them.

To donate goods, please txt us on 02108484968 and we will be happy to collect. Should you want to donate an amount of money, you can do so by making a payment to the Blessings For Africa account by going to the website and click "Donate" at www.blessingsforafrica.com...

Kind regards,
The team, at Blessing for Africa

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.

This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
