Amnesty International "Write for Rights"

Sandy from Stepneyville

WRITE FOR RIGHTS! Tomorrow, Saturday 9 December, 2-4.30pm.
Commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by writing letters and messages in support of victims of human rights abuse, around the world.

When? Saturday 9 December from 2 - 4.30pm
Where? Room K105 NMIT (upstairs in K block,10 Alton St)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on 10 December 1948, in response to the “barbarous acts which […] outraged the conscience of mankind” during the Second World War. It lists 30 human rights which are the foundation for freedom, justice and peace. It is the most translated document in the world, and continues to form the basis of international human rights law.

If you can't join us tomorrow, visit Amnesty International's website, and sign letters there.

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!
