Thank you for using Neighbourly
A big thanks to all of you who supported by donating to purchase masks or by making them for former refugees in Wellington organized by my Friend Grace Heiss in partnership with the Red Cross. On Monday she was able to drop 85 masks at Red Cross Wellington :) Many thanks again!
Are you #OnBoardWithMasks? We’re counting on you, Wellington, to keep each other safe! Kia kaha!
Show us your best selfies while kitted out in a mask when on or next to a bus or train and post it along side the hashtag #OnBoardWithMasks so we can see (and maybe share) your good examples!

I can't access my photos at the moment, but the attached picture is very similar to the ring I have lost.

Congratulations to King George Diones , who wins $500 worth of Yates products and $300 worth of Kings Plant Barn vouchers. This surgical nurse in Auckland propagates and sells houseplants. He is currently giving all profits to colleagues in the Philippines to buy PPE.
Wanted to make everyone aware that this sort of arrogant, ignorant poor excuse of an individual is in our community. I am all for having a say about any issues that affect NZ, but say it to my face not my car windscreen like the creep that you are.

My car was parked for less than an hour in Naenae shopping centre.
Just wanted to bring community awareness of these opinions in our community. I have formally dealt with the incident. My concern is for the vulnerable people in our community.

Because it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.
Same question as last time - were are we?
This spot in the capital city has changed a wee bit since the photo was taken.
Feel free to share… View moreBecause it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.

Feel free to share your memories.

Gerard Hoog from Wainuiomata
Imagine
You are born in the year 1900
When you turn 14, World War I starts and ends when you are 18
With a balance of 22 million dead.
Shortly afterwards, a global pandemic, The Spanish Flu, kills 50 million people.
Luckily you are still alive and 20 years old.
If you are 29 years old, you will survive the global economic crisis that started with the collapse of the New York stock exchange.
That caused inflation, unemployment and famine worldwide.
Meanwhile, at 33, the Nazis come to power, albeit in Germany.
When you are 39, Germany invades Poland and World War II begins.
You will eventually be 45 years old when World War II ends
Balance: 60 million dead.
6 million Jews die in the Holocaust.
Fortunately you are still alive .....
When you are 52 years old, the Korean War begins.
When you are 64 years old, the Americans start the Vietnam War.
You will be 75 years old when this war ends.
Luckily you are still alive .
Now.....
A boy born in 1980 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, but they survived several wars and disasters, not to mention the restrictions during the first oil crisis in the early 1970s
Today we find all comfort in a new world, but unfortunately in the middle of a new pandemic.
People complain that they have to stay home for weeks.
While they have electricity, cell phones, food, hot water and a secure roof over their heads.
None of that existed then in these times.
But .... humanity has survived those circumstances and they have never lost their joy of life
Today we complain because we may soon have to wear face masks to enter supermarkets.
A small change in our thinking and mindset can work wonders.
We are going to thank you and me who are still alive and we are going to do whatever it takes to protect and help each other.
