I am so excited to finally have my product ready to launch and to post here in this amazing forum.

Let me introduce you to Dolly Mumma. We want to show you that there is more to Indian food that Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala. With our ready to cook Indian pastes you can not only make a great tasting curry but they can also be used in all your everyday Kiwi cooking.

My grandmum, Dolly Mumma, taught me that good cooking is about flavor. โ€œIt doesnโ€™t matter if your curry is not like mine, what matters is the loveโ€. Make sure they can taste the love and they will love the taste, she would say.

Our products will give you a taste of the real India and have been made with generous servings of love. Try them now - we look forward to your creations!

You can buy them online and have them delivered across Auckland.
Or, contact us directly on 02102553016 for pickup from Manurewa/Takanini.

Hi neighbours. The parents of missing French teenager Eloi Rolland are pleading for information on his whereabouts on what is his first birthday since his disappearance.

Rolland should have been celebrating his 19th birthday surrounded by friends and family in France on Thursday, but he has not been seen or heard from since CCTV spotted him in West Auckland on March 7.

Rollandโ€™s parents Thierry and Catherine Rolland, who have been unable to travel to New Zealand due to the coronavirus pandemic, posted a renewed call for information on West Aucklandโ€™s community Facebook pages.

Written as if it were coming from their son, the post read: โ€œToday, Thursday, [I turn] 19 years old. But I am a missing person. My parents are looking for me, their heart is with me and [they] hope to find me safe and sound.
I am appealing for witnesses, if since my disappearance I have been seen or spoken to by anyone, please inform my family or the NZ Police [sic]."

Hi! I'm so excited to finally be sharing a project our team has been working on for a while now: First Rung, our first podcast!
First Rung is packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home - it also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
Over six, bite sized episodes, we cover everything from saving that deposit, to sunset clauses, to how to get your newly purchased home ready to move into.
We'll also introduce you to ordinary Kiwis, just like you, who have navigated the choppy waters of home buying in NZ and made it onto that first rung - and pick their brains for how they did it.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
So give it a listen and let us know what you think - and be in to win that mint Resene prize pack. I can't enter and I'm well jealous!

Hope Church - Adversaries of the Heart

Shame leaves a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behaviour that you may have done in the past, but you want to break free from.
But there is HOPE. You can find liberty from the shame, that God can provide, to keep you from past setbacks.
