Items needed for an Early Childhood Education project
Hello people. My daughter helps run an Early Childhood Home-based Education organisation. They have a headquarters base where she is planning to build an Enchanted Forest which will be rearranged/reconstructed on a monthly basis, so she needs quite a collection of "treasures".
They need: Tree stumps for kids' chairs and tables. Paua shells, coconut shells, that kids can use as bowls. Large interesting buttons and beads for treasures and "silver" cutlery for making wind chimes. Painted "eggs" and glass paper weights that can be hidden amongst the trees. Birds nests in which she can put bird figures and decorative eggs/stones/precious looking items. Natural baskets and sheer scarves for dancing. Text or calls to 021 626 090 would be appreciated.

LIVE Q&A: Financial well-being with Cat Rikihana
Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.
Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.
Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'
She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)
