As part of Gumboot Friday, we are partnering up with Samantha to bring this amazing talk about supporting children with change & uncertainty. This is certainly what the Pandemic has brought us in bucket loads.

Do any of these sound familiar?

How do I know if my child is behind at school?

What can I do to support my kid(s) not becoming overly worried?

Is it ‘normal’ for my child to ask these questions (insert any question you like)?

Just when I think I know how to deal with this – we have something else go on

Feeling exhausted

Experiencing sudden moments of feeling overwhelmed

Changes in appetite, diet and sleeping patterns

Supporting the wellbeing of children has no easy fix; it is an ongoing journey of connection and communication.

Join Samantha for this interactive face to face session where we will explore the impacts of change and uncertainty (such as Covid) on children and caregivers whilst drawing upon up to date theory and research in this area.

Areas covered will include: -

Why is this Pandemic so hard for us all, especially our children?

Habits and practices to support children to thrive

The crucial Covid lessons for children

Safeguarding children’s wellbeing

Ticket Link: events.humanitix.com...

All proceeds from this event will go towards I Am Hope. So please come & show your support for such a worthy cause.

Firstly, we want to say a big thank you to you all for continuously sending us messages to report suspicious activities in the area. This collective effort allows us to plan our patrol routes in a way to maximise our deterrent effectively. A FRIENDLY REMINDER: Ring 111 (ask for Police) for immediate attention and 105 to report an incident for the police to follow-up on later. We do not work for the NZ Police, we are just volunteers working in partnership focused on prevention.

We also want to give thanks to all the people that believe in what we are doing for our Neighbourhood Crime Prevention Project. We have been received an overwhelming amount of supporting comments on our social media accounts recently. It is 100% your trust what fuels our efforts to constantly look for ways to improve our practices therefore always providing a better service for all who live here.

Our coordination with our local Police Officers has made a remarkable movement during these past few weeks. We are proud to announce that the NZ Police now have real-time unlimited access to all our patrol logs and reports, and extract any of our information they deem useful for their mahi.

We want to thank you for your incredible donations as it is your generosity is what keep our cars running and our marriage partners….quiet! We want to give a special mention to members of our community who donate small regular amounts especially, it is humbling beyond measure. These donations gave many of our volunteers a sense of confirmation that you believe in us, you support our vision, you want us to keep going & see more of what we do. PLEASE KEEP DONATING as all donations, big or small, allow our volunteers to keep going without adding an extra financial burden to their lives at home during these increasingly hard times.

We need more volunteers, especially now that the weather is improving and is only getting better, providing longer time periods for offenders to harm and make our neighbourhoods unsafe.

Saturday is International Observe the Moon Night and to mark the occasion, a historic telescope used during some of the first human missions to the moon will be open to the public at Auckland's Stardome Observatory and Planetarium (670 Manukau Road, Epsom).

The EWB Zeiss telescope was used to manually track Apollo missions when Houston didn't have radio contact with its spacecraft and astronauts.

The public are invited to use the telescope to view the moon on Saturday until 10.30pm at the stardome at 670 Manukau Road, Epsom.

“It will be five days after the new moon, so looking up from the Southern Hemisphere, we will easily be able locate the various maria, or seas, on the eastern half of the near-side of the moon. These are the Sea of Serenity, Sea of Tranquillity, Sea of Crises, Sea of Fecundity, and Sea of Nectar,” Stardome telescope operator Daley Panthagani said.

Entry costs $2 per adult and $1 per child. The Stardome will also be putting on educational shows about the moon for additional fees. For more info visit www.stardome.org.nz...
