"Thanks so much to the team at Exceed Hutt Valley for supporting Aston Vision School in Arusha, Tanzania. With your help we have been able to brighten up the classrooms with a fresh lick of paint! The teachers are excited to teach in their new bright classroom, and the kids can't wait either!"
We are so happy we have had the opportunity to have a small part in making a difference for these children.

Do you know what your rights are at work? How about your rights to do with renting or owning a home? If you buy something that’s faulty do you know what your options are? This CAB Awareness Week from 8-14 April you’re being invited to Discover Your Rights – Tūhuratia ō motika!

Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

Alicetown Community Centre, 38 Victoria Street, Alicetown.
Join us to view and discuss Geoff Lawton’s movie, which focusses on the use of small spaces for growing food on permaculture principles. It takes us round a range of flourishing gardens, shows us some of the infrastructure used, and even shows us the beginnings of a makeover.
This DVD begins with a look at the possibilities of the urban growing environment and the madness of the traditional grass lawn.
From there, we’re taken through a variety of intensively managed Urban Edens. Backyards overflowing with life… medicinal herbs beneath fruit trees… lettuces and mints in planters… citrus trees managed as shrubs in a 1′ wide strip on a balcony… a swimming pool converted into a fish pond… plenty of eye-candy.
We also see quite a few irrigation and water reclamation systems, from roof-fed cisterns to swales dug across yards to catch rainwater. The re-use of graywater and the technology of solar pumps, filters, diverters, etc. are much more complicated than the scope of this DVD.
For a newbie… the DVD is a wealth of information… and for the expert, it’s a well of inspiration.
There are 832 people buried in the St James Church cemetery and it is unknown where the majority of them are located.
