Give something to Pakistan Flood Victims
Kia ora and As-salamu Alaykum!
I am sure all of you are following the news about massive flood and likelihood of epidemic breakouts in different regions of Pakistan. 30 million people have been affected by the recent floods across the country. They have lost their homes, crops & livelihoods. The need of the hour is to help them in whatever way you can.
PakNZ is collecting donations for the flood effectees. Please donate as much as you conveniently can. It will help to provide some relief to the people in flood hit areas and rehabilitate them.
Here are the account details: PakNZ,
06-0729-0458219-03, Ref: 2022 Flood Relief
The money will be sent to individuals who are actually on the ground and volunteering in different parts of the country. People who are ready to get the supplies and distribute to the victims.
We are also looking for volunteers to come forward and help us in raising funds for the flood victims in Pakistan. Please get in touch with me at paknz01@gmail.com or any of the committee members if you can volunteer or lead a city wide community fund raising campaign.
Stay blessed,
Junaid

Palmerston North people 👋
It seems like nearly every second day we are hearing about someone who has been scammed or messed around when they’re just trying to organise simple help. That's why I'm testing an idea for a local odd-jobs platform to help people get small household tasks done without the stress of trying to find someone reliable.
The goal is to build something that feels safe, local, and fair for everyone.
clear job descriptions
transparent pricing/bids
real profiles + ratings
We’ll start small with non-licensed jobs like:
🌿yard tidy-ups
🚮 rubbish removal
🚐 small moving help
🪣cleaning
🏠 minor repairs & maintenance (non-licensed)
The pilot won’t include electrical, gas, or certified plumbing.
With the cost of living right now, if you want to jump onboard as a customer or worker i’ve made an early access waitlist:

I’ve also got a fully anonymous survey up that takes less than two minutes. This will help me tailor the categories, pricing expectations and see what people want most:

If you’ve ever struggled to get a small job done because it’s “too small” for tradies, or if you’re someone who wants to earn extra money doing honest work - I’d really love your input.
👉You can also book on behalf of a family member who needs a bit of extra help.
Thanks heaps 🙌
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!
