These pyjamas go direct to the children in our community who have been identified
as needing them now.
We have seen many times before just how generous the people of Pukekohe are.
As we all know, the nights are getting colder and there are 213 children who have been identified by their teachers as being in need of a pair of nice warm pyjamas to keep them warmer on these cold nights.
We are very grateful for the generous donations we have received to date.
Here are numbers and sizes of pyjamas that we are currently short of.

Pyjamas can be left at Franklin County News, Pukekohe Travel or Pukekohe Anglican church or text Jan on 0274521 366 and we will arrange for them to be collected. Maybe you could collect some for us at your office or place of work or amongst your friends.
Thank you for supporting our local community as we try to keep our children warm and out of hospital.
This project is the Middlemore Foundation run in conjunction with our Franklin Health Locality, Pukekohe Community Action and Pukekohe Anglican Church plus our wonderful community.
MANY MANY THANKS

Let’s do it! Weather looks good for Saturday.
Calling all twins/triplets/quadruplets....etc
Please come for this historic photoshoot of all our twins living here in Waiuku/Awhitu. Because it is winter and there will be some little babies/children, we will try to get the shoot done as quickly as possible as a big group picture first. We will do individual photos after that.
I will be there from 12noon and we will have a register so we can send the images to all who participated in this shoot.
Saturday 9th June - 1.00pm
Venue: Kevan Lawrence Park (next to Waiuku Library)
Twins living on Awhitu and surrounding Waiuku are also welcomed.
See you all there!!! 😍😍😍
This is a community gig with no charge if anyone is concerned. It's free and for all our precious twins/triplets...etc.
Please share and let your twins family and friends know. TIA.
