Random Acts of Kindness

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

Random Acts of Kindness NZ (RAK) needs helping hands for a couple of random acts.
- One Selwyn resident needs someone local to help them by cleaning their oven. They are unaware they have been nominated and this would mean a lot to them. Can anyone help them soon?
- A Selwyn family need help with building materials (new or used) to build a fort for their children who have sensory needs. Volunteers are also needed to help build it. Can you help?
- RAK are also looking for Selwyn businesses who would like to be part of this years Christmas Kindness Hamper initiative. Last year RAK was able to donate food and decorations to families in need and this year they hope to be able to help even more families.
CAN YOU HELP?
If you can help with any of the above Acts, head to the Random Acts Of Kindness NZ page or email: gifts@randomactsofkindness.co.nz

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!
