We are one
One week has already gone.
We have gone through fear, horror, worry,grief, anger.
At the Hub we all stand in support of our Muslim whānau, we are providing spaces and a neutral welcoming place for them to gather after funerals.
The Christchurch Victims Organising Committee is also based at the Hub at the moment. They collect donations, deliver food and other items to the families and are creating a network of support for the victims and their families
There is a strange atmosphere at the Hub,as in the whole city, but one thing is clear: we are stronger and more united than ever.
We are many but we are one.
After consulting with our Muslim whānau, we have decided to go ahead with our Phillipstown Hub Twilight Gala. It will be an opportunity for the whole community to stay together, support and connect after the horrific event that happened last Friday.
With Canterbury Refugee Resettlement and Resource Centre, Purapura Whetu, Ōtautahi Creative Spaces, The Muse Community Music Trust, Mt Pleasant Pottery Group, White Elephant Trust, ICEcycles, Greening the Rubble, Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust, OSCAR Network.

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?
