More than 800 people in Auckland are living without shelter?
If you want to create positive change and support innovative programmes like Housing First, alternatives to foster care, and the vibrant Merge Café, all you have to do is sleep rough for one night at Eden Park by joining the Lifewise Big Sleepout.
You can be part of the solution in a bold way, by stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the realization that as Kiwis, we can all be just a couple of steps away from homelessness ourselves.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
