Bridges for Peace Helping IDF works to help Turkey Earthquake victims!

Beth Mather from Bridges For Peace New Zealand

An Israeli team of medical and search and rescue personnel is on the ground in crisis-stricken Turkey to help pull survivors from the rubble, set up a field hospital and treat the wounded. Thanks to the generosity of Christians around the world, Bridges for Peace had the honor of outfitting the team with the thermal underwear, fleeces, gloves, hats, scarves and headlamps they needed to function optimally in the subzero temperatures in the disaster area. Ahead of Shabbat, Lt. Col. Schul, the chief of operations of the Israeli field hospital, took the time to say thank you.

The Israeli team has already saved 17 civilians from the crushing debris. The field hospital has opened its doors and Israeli medical personnel are working around the clock to treat the injured. The destruction is horrendous and the needs are mammoth. Israel is making every effort to come to Turkey's aid—and you can help.

You can partner with Israel's rescue efforts in Turkey by giving to our Crisis Assistance Fund. Your donations will be allocated to continue to equip the Israeli team as they save lives amid the devastation.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.

But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

I was spiralling out of control

I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.

Once I hit my teenage years, however, I remember starting to get worried about my weight. (I'll just mention here that I don't think I have ever been overweight and I certainly wasn't overweight as a teenager). I'm not sure how this all came about, but it was around the time I started getting interested in boys and my body was changing. I would stare at myself in the mirror and think I was fat.
