624 people were seen over five days with nearly 70% needing glasses. Amazingly, 150 people attending the clinics were are able to leave with their new glasses which were manufactured on site!
OneSight Programme Manager for Australia/New Zealand Jenny Harnett says it was an honour to partner with The Salvation Army to deliver these clinics to communities in need. “We believe that glasses unlock potential, providing opportunities for students to learn, for people to work and earn a living, to drive, to read, and to support their families."
Thanks again OneSight!

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.
Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.
A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.
This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

On paper, it sounds easy: make small-batch, boutique ice cream by hand using natural, local ingredients.
But when you're not a chef, have zero idea how to make ice cream and even less money, it could be foolhardy to try.

But when you're not a chef, have zero idea how to make ice cream and even less money, it could be foolhardy to try.
Fortunately, Olive Tabor didn't let such minor details stand in her way and almost two years after starting Patti's & Cream in Dunedin, she regularly sells 100-plus litres of ice cream in a few hours.

Able Invercargill is running the Waves Programme, commencing Wednesday 16 October 2019.

● Provide a safe, supportive environment to explore aspects of their grief and reduce isolation and stigma associated with bereavement by suicide
● Gain information and strategies about how to care for themselves and others (including children and young people) after a suicide
● Adjust to living with loss and moving forward
Next scheduled programme in Invercargill:
Wednesday 16 October 2019 to Wednesday 4 December 2019
7pm - 9pm

Known colloquially as "The Manor", the 114-year-old, five-bedroom flat has been a home to many University of Otago students - and parties - over the years.
On the weekend, a house party attracted hundreds of students who were eager to celebrate one final time before the university took over the property's lease.
But the night ended in tragedy when Sophia Crestani, 19, died after suffering injuries during a mass pile-up of people in house's stairwell. Our thoughts are with Sophia's friends and family following this terrible tragedy.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?
