These were some of the items purchased with money raised at a recent theatre event and the Tawa Rotary Business Breakfast.
Mary Howarth (centre), representing Foster Hope, said the organisation was extremely grateful for these much-needed items. They would go into the backpacks of essentials for children going into foster care.
Currently, Foster Hope is keen to replenish its stocks of coloured pencils, tampons, bibs, face cloths, shampoo and conditioner, face wash and nappy rash cream. If you’re able to help out with any of these, please drop them off at Tawa Rotary’s collection point at ITM on Main Rd.

Petition request
: That the House of Representatives urge the government to appoint an independent commissioner to examine the impact of recent changes in Wellington's public transport network and replacing the diesel buses with cleaner vehicles.
Petition reason
: Wellington's public transport network has gone backwards under Greater Wellington Regional Council management. Seven years of planning has produced a substandard service with unreliable timetables, inadequate passenger facilities, stressed and fatigued drivers; and a fleet of polluting diesel buses.
