Hi Neighbours
Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

When the former boatbuilder moved to Waiuku 14 years ago, he was disappointed the estuary behind his house was completely blocked off by a thick wall of mangroves, so he started cutting. Things quickly escalated.
There would be just 26 services across the region, down from 84 in 2018, Auckland Council has said. Decisions to cancel or consolidate services had been made following discussions with the police and the Returned and Services Association.

CAN WE MANAGE IT AGAIN THIS YEAR?
Working with Middlemore Foundation our goal is to get a new pair of pyjamas to each child before the cold weather arrives and colds and other winter ills increase. This project has a few local community trusts working together for the good of our children. Pyjamas can be left at the Pukekohe Anglican Church, 37 Queen St, or TopNotch Engraving at 28 King St, Pukekohe. We hope to add more drop-off points over the next week. We can provide a dedicated bank account number for this project if you'd prefer to make a donation instead of buying the pyjamas yourself. For more details contact Jan on 0274-521-366
