Kindness of strangers. !!
To those that stopped to assist an elderly man who collapsed in Haitaiti...You are my hero's......I stopped because I have some medical training { must say I would stop anyway]} But 4-5 others where first ! I was amazed that 3 people had done first aid training and felt comfortable if it came to cpr, 2 had first aid kits We where joined by a Dr and her cab driver, nieghbours had contacted the mans wife and all but the man with a new born stayed till the ambulance arrived[ once all controlled]
I guess for me, in this time and place it feels good to be a citizen of Wellington and NZ. To see such compassion and caring Lights up The soul.
