Christchurch Pacific Disability Day Celebration

Anele Bamber from Vaka Tautua

We're excited to celebrate with our Pacific community in Christchurch this month for our annual Christchurch Pacific Disability Day on Friday 24th November 11am-3pm!
We will have speakers Gafa Tuiloma - General Manager for Etu Pasifika as well as shared testimonies from service users, Mr Tuvalu Fuimaono from Pharmac and Information Stalls with people from Arthritis New Zealand, Ministry of Health Needs Assessment Services, Older People Services, Pacific Health services, Blind Foundation, Social Housing, Diabetes NZ and FREE HEALTH CHECKS.

On the day, there will be some demonstrations of disability sports activities, as well as some mini Zumba and fun games. There will be finger food served during the event, and delicious Island food after.
Come along for fun day and bring your family. Same venue as last year at the Aranui Community Centre, 31 Hampshire Street, Aranui!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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 to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

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