Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.

They do this by baking them a delicious treat. The purpose is to give a moment of sweetness to people having a tough time, so they deliver baking to organisations that work with or support groups of people who need some kindness.
Good Bitches Baking is seeking bakers and drivers in New Plymouth to spread a bit of sweetness in the community.
Ideally you will be able to:
• Bake one batch of baking, once a month. What you bake is entirely up to you.
• Drop off the baking on the Sunday to the recipient organization you are rostered to bake for or a driver will collect this from you.
• Complete a monthly availability survey in order for the Team to be able to roster you to bake once a month.
All baking is well received. You don't need to be a patisserie chef or have a big budget. The only common ingredient is care for the people you're baking for, and all our Good Bitches put lots of this into everything they're baking.
Currently the Organisations receiving this baking to share with their people who are going through tough times and could benefit from a little kindness and sweetness in their day are Gabby’s Starlit HOPE, Taranaki Retreat, Taranaki Women’s Refuge and Neonatal Ward as well as Heart Kids (when they have events)
Anyone can be a Good Bitch – it’s a very admiring and gender-inclusive term. Good Bitches are people who want to help and like to just get stuff done. You don’t have to be a master baker, because it’s your kindness that matters the most.
As an aside, we know that life is very expensive these days and sometimes the idea of something extra in the budget is a barrier to being part of something. If this is you, please do ask about the Cup of Sugar fund.
You can also be a driver if driving is your thing! On the roster they create driving groups, and they need drivers to collect baking from each of the bakers in the group and then deliver that baking to our recipient organizations. You can be just a driver, or you can also opt in to bake as well as being a driver.

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Police believe this scamming method could find its way to New Zealand and we are urging people to be vigilant.
The gift will have the recipients address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.
The QR code allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you used to scan the code, including financial information such as your bank account login details, and personal data.
Police are urging anyone who receives one of these gifts not to scan the QR code, the gift can either be kept or discarded, but do not scan the QR code.
Please report information to Police online at www.police.govt.nz... or call Police on 105.
