Will you replace hunger with hope?

World Vision

"Sometimes we don’t eat for two or three days. My younger sister cries when she’s hungry. I feel very bad about that,” says 13-year-old Nyaduer (left). She’s struggling to fight hunger and keep her siblings alive.

Nyaduer is living without her mum or dad in a displacement camp in South Sudan. Without life’s basics. Without enough food. Right now, hunger is leaving kids too weak to run or play. Some don’t even have the energy to speak.

Please help. Will you reach out to them with life-saving food and support, just like you would if they lived next door?

Clams create a construction water challenge

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Pest clams have created a challenge for NZTA as it prepares to extend the Waikato Expressway to Piarere.

The project will need water and Lake Karāpiro’s a nearby source - but it’s also infiltrated by gold clams, first found in the Waikato River in May 2023.
