The Building fund has reached $100897 with $2795 received in donations this week.

The working conditions in the Foodbank are improving due to the installation of two industrial dehumidifiers that are helping to reduce the air moisture levels that makes conditions more bearable for our volunteers who keep the Foodbank service operating.

Please note we have set up a givealittle page as well as a direct link for donating on our website.

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."

Award-winning theatre company Indian Ink comes to Kāpiti next week (12-14 August) with their powerful new play Paradise or the Impermanence of Ice Cream.

This glorious production is inspired by Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer prize-winning Denial of Death, and the vibrant, life–filled chaos of India’s most cosmopolitan city, Mumbai.

Jacob Rajan delivers a dazzling solo performance as he channels seven characters, weaving the afterlife and a dash of Bollywood disco into the real life mystery of India’s vanishing vultures.

Infused with serious laughter, exquisite puppetry and inspired sound design this show will blow your mind and melt your heart.
