I'm a Cleaner

Marama from Manukau - Wiri

I got to work yesterday to find out that we had been moved from the shed that we had all our cleaning products in and trolleys - to a type of boiler room, that's concrete, cold & you can smell the gas outside & we have a whole lot of cleaning products in that room.

On top of that, we don't have a sink to rinse our mops, clean our buckets, etc, it's worse than the space we already had. It's going to be freezing during winter. And our supervisor has only just got back from being sick.

If we want to rinse our mops and clean our buckets, we'll have to use the tap outside the school hall, which is going to be cold enough and a group of us trying to do this, it's not on.

This is going to cause some trouble, I'm already hearing others wanting to do something about it.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
