However, thousands of elderly people living in aged-care-facilities around New Zealand will spend Christmas Day alone this year because they don’t want to be seen as a burden, because their families have moved away, or because they don’t talk to their children anymore.
It is heart-breaking to think of our senior-citizens’ sitting on their own, hidden away, while the rest of the nation is enjoying themselves.
The Sending Love organisation is determined to forward 16,000 Christmas cards to occupants in rest-homes.
So far about 3000 cards have been received and the organisation is working with the New Zealand Aged Care Association to determine how many people
will benefit from them.
Drop-boxes have been placed around Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, Hamilton, Rotorua, Tauranga, Napier and Matamata.
Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), has set up a drop-box in the foyer of the All Saints’ Community Centre, located at 30 Cook Street, Howick.
Delivery may be made between 8:00am and 4:30pm from Monday to Friday, until Thursday, 14 December.
Unfortunately, isolation is a huge issue and this can be acutely felt if you’re alone on Christmas Day; missing being with family and friends.
There’s no better time to send love.
Let’s show older people we do care!

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.
Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).

Distribution
Distribution is big business in New Zealand, employing about 1 in every 20 New Zealanders. Get into the distribution, logistics or freight forwarding industries, as this qualification will help progress your career no matter your age.
Free forklift licence and Reach Counter Balance included due to growing demand for forklift drivers.
Retail
Retail is a fast-moving industry and New Zealand organisations need to respond to customer demand and predict future trends. Whether you’re already working in retail, or trying to get a foot in the door, this intermediate/supervisory level qualification will ensure you stand out from the crowd.
You'll develop your ability to give feedback, respond to customer complaints and establish better communication in the workplace, sales and consumerism, workplace training and you’ll gain retail skills that will impress your potential employer.
Hospitality
Hospitality and tourism are amongst the fastest growing areas of employment in the world and the rewards for talented and focused individuals are high. Despite the huge growth in the Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism industry, highlighted is the lack of skilled staff to fill the vacancies.
The beauty of Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism is that no matter where you are in the world, the industry has a place. Whether you choose to work in hotels, events, attractions, or anywhere else in the sector, there are always jobs available to Hospitality, Leisure, Recreation & Tourism graduates.
Business Administration and Technology
Whatever the industry, all businesses need qualified and professional administrative support staff. Build your business administration and computing skills to enable you to be confident with office operations and business services.
This programme will help you develop basic accounting skills, including table and formula use, as well as business document and publication production. You'll learn how to use mobile and digital technology systems and software in order to meet organisational requirements.
Plus, this certificate will also develop your understanding of office functions, financial transactions and documentation, as well as customer service.
