Blind sisters gifted piano to practice on

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours. This story showcases the great community spirit of Orewa. Blind sisters, Daelani and Tayla Marsters (age 10 and seven) have been taking piano lessons since the beginning of the year. Their piano teacher recently posted to Neighbourly to see if anyone had a piano they were willing to part with so the girls could practice at home, and sure enough, she received four offers. Listen to the girls play in our video by visual journalist Ryan Anderson.

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!
