Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

You can choose your design from the 'Kids Workshop' photo album on our facebook page. You may use a combination of 2 designs (eg. a quote plus child's name or an image plus child's name or quote plus an image) keeping in mind that the younger ones will find it easier with a simple design.

I’m not too sure it’s it is the right place to advertise this. I am a social worker working with family in high needs. I am working with a family With 4 boys Who are passionate about basketball. The boys have asked me if I could get them a basketball hoop to put in the house. The children have not much so sport is a good way for them to be occupied . And it is good for them as exercise work on your physical and mental wellbeing . So if you have one in the back of the garage that you do not use any more, I would be more than happy to come and get it. If it is not appropriate I’m happy to remove the comment 😊
Kindly appreciate it
Thank you

The Madison Park Homes show home at 126 Colonial Drive, Millwater stands out from the crowd with its innovative new design, mono pitch styling and contrasting claddings of natural timber and stone.
The home is a showcase of the quality build principles Madison Park is becoming known for. Everywhere you look there are quality fixtures and fittings chosen from carefully selected suppliers. The home gives you a tremendous sense of space and lightness due to the clever use of large windows, high ceilings and oversize doors.
