Celebrating Lake Taupo Hospice Volunteers - Alba
This outgoing, talkative and passionate Brazilian is always keen for new experiences and as a volunteer for Lake Taupo Hospice has certainly found her niche – already having taken part in a variety of the opportunities on offer to volunteers at Hospice. A former teacher with a strong love of sport and dogs she has been surprised to learn just how much Lake Taupo Hospice provides for the patients – from nursing care, hospital equipment, volunteer services and activity programmes. “I wish people were aware of all the services provided to patients of all ages and problems” she says. “Being a volunteer isn’t challenging and I’ve had many rewarding experiences. The way I see things and life nowadays is the best thing. It’s priceless to make a difference in the patients’ lives but the truth is they have made a huge difference in my life too. They have taught me to see things from a very different perspective and for that I am grateful.”
Alba volunteers in the activity day programmes, is a volunteer host and has covered an Art Exhibition as well as met the Prime Minister at the official opening of Izard Hospice House. She has also taken
part in a number of fundraising and promotional events and given a talk on Brazil to the activity programme attendees.

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!
