Global Creative Therapy & Connection

Michelle from Ponsonby

If you've been following lately you may have noticed that some inspiring Colour Our Story events have been taking place across parts of Africa thanks to our amazing global ambassadors in Uganda, Cameroon and Sierra Leone.

Our children's global colouring in books are designed to empower, inspire and create a deeper sense of connection, empathy, curiosity and global citizenship through the therapeutic joy of creativity.

The kids got to experience reading stories and colouring in drawings created by other kids all across the globe. In response they dived in their own hearts and minds, sharpened their pencils and got to work creating their own powerful drawings and stories that they wished to share with everyone.

So now's the time where we get to start preparing that beautiful content for our special colouring in books (made by kids, for kids, all across the world) and we've always believed that should be a special, fun event in itself too. So easy, so rewarding and no skills or experience needed! Everything will be provided.

Event: fb.me...

It's been a while since I've organised one of these so it will be quite a celebratory event with a few extra surprises and I'll be brewing up a delicious batch of my favourite mulled wine with nibbles, relaxing music, videos and others logging in from across the globe to hang out with us for an evening of purposeful and therapeutic fun... connecting creatively with like minded souls.

AT COLOUR OUR STORY OUR AIM IS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN IN NEED OF THE THERAPY AND JOY OF CREATIVITY THROUGH GLOBAL EXCHANGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPLIES.

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?

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble

Logan Campbell 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.
