A young refugee will train among New Zealand’s best up-and-coming footballers just months after fleeing war-torn Afghanistan.

Fahima Yousofi’s tutors from the English Teaching College in Lower Hutt put in a call to the Wellington Phoenix after she revealed her talent at a school picnic. From February, Yousofi will begin training with the club’s academy team.
Yousofi, who played football in Afghanistan to a high level, is pleased she will be playing football again. She arrived in New Zealand in September – around the time the air force was making mercy flights to and from the Afghan capital – with her family. Members of her extended family had already settled in New Zealand.

"A falcon has taken to skulking in the oak tree outside my office. She is a little nefarious, watching the sparrows and rock pigeons (falcon fodder) in the park and on my front lawn until the tui call her out by screeching at her. A shady character, but I love her. Here she is trying to sell me a used watch. New Zealand falcon/kārearea (Falco novaeseelandiae), immature female, Woburn, Lower Hutt. I assume this must be the offspring of the more mature female who sometimes does the rounds around here as well."
Te Awa Kairangi (Hutt River) is increasingly being used as a dumping ground for rubbish. Greater Wellington is asking locals who see anyone dumping rubbish to call their environmental hotline 0800 496 734.

Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?
