Keas visit the Kapiti Community Foodbank
A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME
The Raumati Scouts (Keas section) visited the Kapiti Community Foodbank this week. Keas Leader, Raquel Barros, brought in 8 Keas (aged 5-8yrs) who put away food they had donated and packed food parcels.
The children really enjoyed the hands-on visit to the Foodbank. They have visited several community services throughout the year, including the Police and Fire Station.
The visit to the Foodbank was aimed at educating the children about the needs of others in their community and how their donations will help many other families in the future.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
