Garage sale

Kayla from Frankton

Thank you to everyone who supported Allaie with donations and also attending her garage sale.
We appreciate all the help.
Allaie is the one on the left ❤️
Because of the communities willingness and support
Allaie is able to pay her camp fees and get her passport
without a community like this and a church family and godly lifestyle we surrounded ourselves with 4.5 years ago this would not be an opportunity for Allaie.
4.5 years ago I was a drug addict, alcoholic, addicted to cigarettes, domestic violence victim, babysitting kind of parent this was allaies lifestyle she was brought up in..Until 4.5 years ago..
Now I no longer do any of these things, delivered from my addictions and habits, no longer a victim of domestic violence. I am into my children and their futures. Allaie also has mild spinal Bifida so the fact that people supported her makes this a very big thing for her. A reference point she will remember for the rest of her life.

Thank you again neighbours

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Waipā District Council is set to dispose of 5880m² of surplus land at Puahue Cemetery as part of its ongoing property optimisation programme.

Councillors voted unanimously to approve, in principle, the sale of part of the site, which was identified as being underutilised in the 2023 Cemetery Concept Plan.
