Pizzas to Bake and Help ๐
Weโll be taking part in the 2019 Step Up Sky Tower Stair Challenge, and we need your help to achieve our goal to DONATE NZD 1103.
This is the perfect excuse to invite your friends for a nice meal and drinks on Saturday night, or even get some to freeze and use them when you donโt want to cook during the week!
Pablo has worked making pizzas in Argentina and Costa Rica and has an Italian/Argentinian style that you will love.
Hurry up!, you can place your order by DM (or by phone +64 022 369 9486) until Thursday night, and have two ways of paying:
1) You can either pay by card through the Fundraising Link:
secure.leukaemia.net.nz...
2) Or use cash at the moment of delivery.
We'll be delivering for FREE on Saturday from 4 pm.
Thanks a lot for giving us a hand with the fundraising, and for trusting in the power of Pizza!
The Step Up Sky Tower Stair Challenge is a key fundraising event for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC). The money raised from this event funds LBCโs work, including research and support of the six Kiwis diagnosed every day with a blood cancer or related condition and their families. LBC receives no Government funding, so this is the only way we can help them.
We aim to raise $1 per every step of the Sky Tower stairs we will climb (That is 1103 steps!), And we couldnโt think of a better way to do that than making some tasty Pizzas for you!
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 wouldnโt be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

The Ant, Bird & Hunter (Day - 1)
Dear Neighbors,
Iโve come across something I truly believe can make a positive impact, and Iโm excited to share it with you! Over the next 54 days, I will be sharing a series of 54 moral stories (one a day) that encourage children to think deeply and adopt valuable life lessons. These stories are designed to instill ethics, values, and morals that will help shape a better future for our kids.
Iโd love to hear your feedback along the way so we can evaluate the outcomes together and make sure this effort benefits our community in the best possible way.
Please note, this is a non-religious, non-cultural initiative. If any names (People, places etc...) in the stories seem tied to a particular belief system, feel free to adjust them to better align with your own, as the core focus is on values and positive character-building.
Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!

The Ant, Bird & Hunter
There was an ant which fell into a river accidentally and the river was flowing rapidly.The ant would have died after getting drowned in the river, but luckily for the ant there was a bird sitting on a tree above that saw the ant. The bird plucked out a leaf from the tree, flew a short distance, and put it into the river just in time for the ant to climb onto the leaf. The ant floated on the leaf for a while and finally when the river was calm it reached land.
After it reached land, the ant dismounted the leaf, felt thankful that its life had been saved by the bird and headed off to thank the bird which saved its life. In a few hours, it reached the place where the bird was seated on the tree. The ant was about to climb the tree to thank the bird but it observed a hunter was about to shoot down the bird on the tree. The bird had not noticed the hunter.
The ant decided to take action immediately, and thereby help its friend, the bird. The ant went and began biting the feet of the hunter. The irritated hunter could not aim carefully and missed shooting his prey, the bird, as his feet had been bitten by the ant.
The moral of the story is that we may all be very small persons but we must try our best to help our friends under all circumstances. Returning a favor is as important as accepting a favor.
