Pyjamas needed for our local children who are in need
CAN WE DO IT !
OF COURSE WE CAN !
IF WE WORK TOGETHER.
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
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
