⭐️ Fitzroy Street Best Neighbours Award ⭐️
🏅Carissa Carter & Winton Houghton🎖
Having been unwell for a significant amount of time now I have experienced the most amazing generosity & care from my wonderful neighbour Carissa Carter & her partner Winton of Fitzroy Street, Paptoetoe. Their generosity knows no bounds whether it be mowing my lawn, an amazing meal, groceries- I really cannot thank her enough. It’s so reassuring to know there are still people in this world like them who are prepared to show so much kindness & generosity. They have truly gone above & beyond & I really cannot thank them enough, a little public gratitude seems insignificant in comparison. How I will ever repay them I do not know, my gratitude is endless. The world would be an amazing place if everyone had neighbours like them!

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!
This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.
Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
