Christmas - A time for Giving
Hi, Kevin again from St Vincent de Paul. Chrissy is a good time of the year to look around home at what you do not need/want anymore. We will pick up clean W/M to Fridge/freezers, to tables and chairs, to beds and linen, Kitchen items, even knives forks and spoons etc. Due to "difficult times" alot of families in New Plymouth do not have these item. Are you able to assist?
We pick up and deliver free of charge to anyone referred to us from one of over 20 social agencies in New Plymouth. Our Op Shop in Fitzroys also takes quality small items like clothing, books nick-nacks etc, to sell to support our work. Ph Kevin (027) 251-9998 or email: kevinvincentdepaul1@gmail.com
Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
