I’m going on outreach to rural Fiji, with two colleagues, to bring medical care to those who do not have access to a doctor. I feel more than blessed as I have always felt the need to ‘give back’ some of the many things that I have been able to receive so easily.

Thanks to Marine Reach Ministries (permanently based in Fiji since 2002), we will be joining a group of medical professionals for a two week outreach to give free dental care to remote communities in Fiji.
The need for dental instruments is high. MRM volunteer dentists only have three highspeed hand-pieces (drills) and a small outdated steriliser; their ultrasonic scaler is broken and they need a new curing light.
I’m hoping to meet their needs of six or more hand-pieces, a new sterilliser, an ultrasonic scaler and a curing light by raising NZ$ 12,000.
I would like to ask you two things:
1. Please donate! givealittle.co.nz...
3. Follow me on www.facebook.com...
2. Spread the news and share my appeal.
More information can be found at www.marinereachfiji.com....
If you have more to offer than funds alone; Marine Reach Ministries are always in need of gloves, local anaesthetic, dental composite, sterilisation pouches, toothbrushes, toothpaste, up to clothes, nappies etc. (please refer to www.marinereachfiji.com.../marine-reach-donate/).
Who am I?
I am Rachel Bouwman, and even as an 11 year old I believed my goal in life was 'help people'. Now 23 years later I have 10 years experience working as a Dental Assistant, a great husband and 2 wonderful kids. I have been blessed with so many things in life; why should I keep all these all for myself? I always felt the need to give back.
Now I find myself been given the opportunity to go on outreach to help bring Dental care to those who don't even have any medical care.
I feel quite overwhelmed with the possibilities this brings and I am highly motivated to reach out to the volunteers at Marine Reach and those around me that might not be able to give time, but maybe can sponsor funds or supplies.

The Leader and the Hutt News are barely holding on to serving as weekly publication relevant to the cities they represent and this May 2 front page item is surely another step in nailing the coffin.
For some obscure reason, I still buy the DomPost - maybe it's because I was engaged by them for years as a journo. And a few days ago, the very same story about this women and photo appeared in the front page of the DomPost. So effectively the Upper Hutt Leader "stole, copied, regurgitated " a story from the local daily that had seemingly in reading the article nothing to do with Upper Hutt.
Could it be that Upper Hutt alone among the region's towns and cities, has a pronounced large elderly population so the story of a 110 year old lady raised in Dunedin and apparently now living in Clinton, South Otago is relevant afterall.
Or could it be that the Leader's editor and his/her news staff are lazing away and were careless not to add to the story that the remarkable woman has actually lived in Upper Hutt for the past 65-odd years.
But whatever, Stuff and Neighbourly and the like are more than gradually taking over. And I would say that within 2 years the Upper Hutt Leader and within 5 years the DomPost will cease to exist as they are now.

Last Monday the leading story on our Stuff website was the Whittaker's chocolate company revival of the toffee milk chocolate bar. This had the media asking what sweet treats people would like to see returned next and what prized New Zealand lollies may have their production shifted overseas.We want to know what your favourite discontinued treat is. Snifters? Sparkles? Pascall's Licorice Allsorts? Comments may be used in print unless you state otherwise with NFP (Not for Print).

We're announcing a brand new annual event for Lower Hutt, HighLight: Carnival of Lights!
Coming this Labour Weekend in October, HighLight will transform Riddiford Garden in central Lower Hutt into a wonderland of brilliant light installations and live performances. Over four days visitors to the light carnival can enjoy walking through the gardens and immersing themselves in the various displays, live entertainment and interactive features. The event will be open to all ages and will be FREE to attend.
Installations currently being planned for the carnival include a giant lightbulb suspended in mid-air, with an illuminated performer putting on a display inside. Kids will glow in the dark in a UV-light kid’s area, including special dipping paint that will turn their hands into a kaleidoscope of colours. Each night eyes will turn skyward for a fireworks display. These are just the start, with many more exciting projects to be announced in the months ahead.
HighLight, and another multi-day event in 2018, will be replacing Petone Winter Carnival.
