Random Acts of Kindness – August 1st to 31st 💖

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Keep the evening of Friday August 2nd available and come along to the Parents Association annual Food Fair.
As always, the success of the evening will be a reflection of our fantastic school community – teachers, students and parents all get involved in some way. We need all Rongotai families and whānau to be part of this event and contribute some time, energy – and possibly some hidden cooking (or performing?) talent.
Come along on the night and enjoy some fabulous food and entertainment! It’s a great way to support the school but also – more importantly – to meet others in the Rongotai College community. We don’t have that many opportunities to meet and get to know each other, so this is a great chance to mingle and enjoy being part of this wonderful community.

Moggy seeking a new home

Suzanne from Hataitai

Sadly, because we're moving to the Marlborough Sounds where cats are a no-no, we need to find a new home for our lovely Milly. We bought her home from the cat protection league about 4 years ago, so she's probably five years old. She's white with patches of ginger and tortoiseshell. … View moreSadly, because we're moving to the Marlborough Sounds where cats are a no-no, we need to find a new home for our lovely Milly. We bought her home from the cat protection league about 4 years ago, so she's probably five years old. She's white with patches of ginger and tortoiseshell. She loves cuddles and pats and adores snuggling up whenever she gets the chance. She's really sweet, but she's also awesome at catching rats and mice.
We have to say goodbye to her but we know someone else will love her as much as we do. Is that you?
