A way to Demonstrate our Solidarity with the Muslim community

Beth from Mount Eden

The 'No Hate' - Green and White project, post-Christchurch shooting response:
Use the colours of green and white (both significant for Muslims) to show your care and support for Muslims at this time. We could put streamers or balloons on our letterboxes, and maybe also trees or power-poles, to show our neighbours we are benign and caring and they are safe here living near us. This link (below) also suggests that tying a green strand or scarf around our wrists would be a good way to show our benign or benevolent stance in a world that must be feeling very unsafe for many people.
Adding a statement eg 'No Hate' may help clarify the intention of the message?

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
