Kia Ora,
Due to the tsunami, volcanic eruption and fall-out of ash that has destroyed 300 homes across the islands of the Kingdom of Tonga, Co-chair of the Aotearoa Tonga Relief Committee MP Jenny Salesa has made a personal appeal to Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles to collect stationery for the children of these households.
Jenny has outlined eight Government Primary Schools (GPS) severely affected by the volcanic eruption and tsunami: GPS Kolomotu'a, GPS 'Atata, GPS Kanokupolu, GPS Mango Island, GPS Kotu, GPS Fonoifua, GPS Tunga and GPS Nomuka.
Here is a list of other stationery items that would be most helpful:
• Notebooks / paper, drawing paper;
• Pens, pencils, colour pencil, pencil sharpener / and or crayons;
• Children’s books of any kind;
If your company have any unused diaries to donate, we would happy to come and collect it from you anytime before Monday 11 April. Shipment is leaving on the 13th April.
Please do not hesitate to contact Durba 0220 653 719 should you have any questions or need further information. You can also drop off at 20 Kelston St New Lynn.

Don’t Wash Your Hair In The Shower
It’s so good to finally get a “Health Warning” that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with it… a warning to us all!”
I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: “For Extra Body & Volume”
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: “Dissolves Fat” that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solved✅
