I work in the Canterbury District Health Board. My wife and I have just returned from a trip to Samoa. After Cyclone Gita hit Samoa in February this year, we coordinated the collection, transport and distribution of well over two containers of school/office equipment to Manamolu Baptist School in Apia. The school had four feet of water run through their buildings and much of their equipment was damaged/destroyed.
The equipment we sent over included some old CDHB Laptops, which the school uses to teach the students keyboard skills and basic computing. They have a few, but really want a full compliment so each student in the computer class can use a computer.
Are there any older but still functioning Laptops that need a new home? Even Laptops with Windows XP could be a great help to this school. If you would like to know more, or have an older Laptop to give away, please contact me. Jason 0275844562.
I have collected 4 laptops for Samoa. Thankyou Neighbours. The Principal from the Samoan school will be in CHCH for holiday in early Sept. If there are any other Laptops to 'Pay Forward' to Samoa, please let me know. Jason

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.
Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?
Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Email homed@stuff.co.nz and one of our reporters will be in touch.

We have the latest offerings in everything you could imagine, and a huge space! Recently, a large selection of new mattresses arrived at the Brighton Mall showroom. If you thought getting a new, super snugly warm mattress was going to cost the earth, think again! Our single inner-sprung mattresses start at $99.
Surrounding them are a variety of the latest Steiner chairs, heavy wooden drawers, industrial and rustic tables and minimalist items in the Scandinavian style. Subtle hues and bursts of colour reflect global trends and boutique tastes.
“Our whole philosophy is to keep overheads down so people can get the same items that are in a higher-end store, but cheaper.”
Come in and enjoy... you’ll be so glad you did.
2 Tickets value $90 each but sell $50 each, due to illness can't go. Must pay & pickup by Fri 3/8 /2018 6pm email me hazeleead@yahoo.co.nz (no cellphones)

Raised garden beds are ideal for the family to grow your own vegetables or other plants and there are many benefits in using them including
-
- extending the planting season significantly as the beds will warm faster and hold the warmth
- allowing better drainage
- as the gardener doesn’t walk on the garden bed, the soil doesn’t become compacted
- the soil will remain light and loose allowing it to hold more air helping the vegetable roots to grow with less effort
- ability to reduce the number of weeds
- if using close plant spacing your raised vegetable garden bed will create a micro-climate which will contain moisture and further discourage weeds.
Fill with compost, mulch, good soil and fertilzer mix.
If you are looking for a raised garden bed or planter box see Out of the Woods Woodshop here on Neighbourly.

The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.

When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.
Ngāi Tahu is an iwi whose rohe (area) extends over most of the South Island. In the 1840s, the Crown made a number of large purchases of Ngāi Tahu land. But in the end, the Crown deceived Ngāi Tahu - leaving them landless and impoverished...
Find out more about what happened to Ngāi Tahu, where you live, and how much the land was settled for - it may surprise.
