How businesses can unite against COVID-19 and help breaking the cycle of child poverty

We all are suffering from COVID-19 and businesses are getting hit hard, but kids in poverty already had hardship before the COVID-19. Thankfully there are charity's like KidsCan: "Education is a child’s ticket out of poverty. It is how we will break the cycle of hardship, and it is at the core of everything KidsCan does. Food, a warm jacket, solid shoes, feminine hygiene products - these are things we want every child to take for granted. We are levelling the playing field, giving children whose families are struggling the same opportunity to learn as anyone else." That is why Neighbourlink NZ is going to donate half of the profits, earned by advertising, to KidsCan. And you can help too by advertising on Neighbourlink or share this page with others. List your business or post an advertising on the blog, this way we all unite against COVID-19 and help breaking the cycle of child poverty at the same time. There is a Win-Win situation here, and we all can use a win right a…

A Sculpture for Chengdu: Te Ao Hurihuri – The Ever changing world

'Te Ao Hurihuri-The ever changing' world' It was an honour to represent Kirikiriroa Hamilton in China as part of the International Sister city collaboration. About the Sculpture 'Te Ao Hurihuri' - The Ever changing world A Sculpture for Chengdu 'Te Ao Hurihuri' is designed to appear as if made using the iconic New Zealand farming material, No'8 steel wire. A material which has come to symbolise the 'spirit of resourcefulness', of solving problems using lateral thinking and creatively working with what we have - all characteristics of the 'can-do' 'kiwi' attitude. The flowing lines sketch out a 'Tiki', a distinct icon of New Zealand and the wider Pacific. This work attempts to reflect the resilience, strength, dynamic energy and flare of Maori and also tells of 'Maui' the Polynesian hero and adventurer. The more formal structures represent the concept of 'Turangawaewae' a persons 'place to stand' and are in contrast with the flowing lines of the sculpture which…

Bugs! Our Backyard Heroes

Bugs may have a reputation for being small, scaly and scary but some creepy crawlies are actually superheroes in disguise! Bugs! Our Backyard Heroes is a family-friendly, hands-on educational experience that brings visitors face-to-face with some real live mini-monsters. The exhibition explores the secret world of bugs and the vital role they play in our lives without us even realising it! Featuring ‘Eugene’, the giant centipede, and his friends the tree weetaa, stick insects, locusts, crickets, cockroaches and Avondale spiders, the exhibition provides an opportunity to learn about different native species of bugs in New Zealand and the sometimes precarious position they hold in the ecosystem. There are plenty of hands-on activities for youngsters to get involved in, including how to become a citizen scientist and how bugs inspire those on the frontline of technology. Education programmes are available for this exhibition. (Developed and toured by Puke Ariki. Photo…

Actor and activist Russell Brand is returning to New Zealand

Russell Brand will bring his new show Recovery Live to New Zealand in March, 2020. The mental health and drug rehabilitation activist said the 90-minute show was a program for those "aspiring to be saints who have lived too long among demons". Russell Brand will perform his show at these locations and dates: Auckland's Bruce Mason Centre on March 14 Christchurch's Isaac Theatre Royal on March 17 Wellington's Opera House on March 19. "This is an alternative vision for life at a time devoid of real values and connection. This could be the thing you have been looking for and it's weird that this is the way you're going to find it,"

5 Tips For Hosting A Successful Garage Sale

Whether you know them as garage or yard sales, you can successfully sell your old items by dragging them onto your lawn and placing stickers on them. While that's the simplified way that yard sales work, it's not far from what really happens. There's more research, marketing and planning that goes into a successful yard sale though. Planning Stages Before bringing all your items out onto your lawn or garage, you should be planning the date as well as bringing your neighbors in on the process. When you have more people selling items, you're likely to attract more people to the yard sale. Having a neighborhood sale is an event that will bring in tons of traffic. While some people might go to one or two yard sales on a Saturday, they'll definitely check out yours if there's a few on the same street. Clean and Organise Once you've decided on a weekend for your garage sale, start cleaning out your garage as well …

Be More Neighbourly

One of the best features of the world wide web is it enables us to connect with our neighbours in new ways. Establishing an online community is an effective way to communicate with those who live in the same area that we would not otherwise be able to. In today's society, many of us are too busy with work, life and family to interact with our neighbours in the traditional ways. And when many of us move around frequently for work or because we’re renters we don’t always have the longevity to establish meaningful relationships. Whether it is asking for recommendations on restaurants to warnings about break-ins to promoting your business or services, participating in an online community is a great way to be more neighbourly, and being more connected. Find your neighbour link and stay connected.
