Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.

Halloween

Leith from Hillsborough

Halloween was not a thing when I was young and I do not see what is so delightful about it. We have Guy Fawkes night in another few days, surely that is enough? The present craze about Halloween is, in my view, a marketing opportunity merchants seized on.

Halloween was not a thing when I was young and I do not see what is so delightful about it. We have Guy Fawkes night in another few days, surely that is enough? The present craze about Halloween is, in my view, a marketing opportunity merchants seized on.
I take no pleasure in having children practically breaking my door down, even trying to open it, holding a bulging sack of goodies and expecting more! Children I never see the rest of the year. I know some parents think its fun but not all of us do. Please make sure your children have some inkling of manners and when "enough is enough". I resent feeling like a prisoner in my own home, keeping all the lights off etc. Even that does not deter the sweet children who I can only see as greedy and rude. Apart from anything else, I live on a pension and don't want to shell out for heaps of sweets to give away to unknown people.
