Wool for Ukraine
The Zonta Club of Waimakariri recently met a kiwi managing a Swiss-based organisation in the Ukraine which clears mines and unexploded munitions. He visits family in Canterbury every three months and has just taken back knitted baby blankets our members donated. He lives in merino, so we are appealing for any kind of natural wool, 4 ply and up, so we can knit blankets and garments for him to take back next visit. Drop-off points in Rangiora, Amberley, Belfast, Russley, or whatever suits. Thanks for reading!

So we want to hear what you think:

-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.1% ... It is complicated
