2 things to share
Friends, I have 2 things to share with you.
1. Indian Newslink Community Award.
I was proud and humbled to receive an award in October for the community work in Christchurch. Almost all other awardees were from the north island, so it was quite an honour to be recognised there and represent not only Christchurch but the South Island.
The bonus was that I received the award at the hands of Blackcap Jeet Raval, also of Indian ethnicity. Attached here is the photo taken by the official photographer.
Indian Newslink is an English fortnightly published from Auckland since 1999, both as an on-line and print version. They run business awards as well as sports and community awards.
2. Lottery Committee. I have been appointed by Department of Internal Affairs on two of the Lottery funding committees, namely:
- Lottery Significant Projects Fund
- Lottery Community Facilities Fund
I was at Wellington recently to attend the first (training) meeting. There are 4 other members - 2 from DIA, 1 from Auckland (of Chinese ethnicity) and 1 from Gisborne (Maori). I feel honoured and privileged to 'represent' Christchurch / South Island at these funding committees.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

WANTED - Hat Blocks & Hat Making Equipment PLEASE..
Can anyone help.. My daughter is interested in starting to attempt to make hats as a hobby.
