Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

Who’s only concerns, in my experience and opinion, centre around his Mayoral alter-ego and around cost cutting core services by stealth, he also probably wants to be NZs longest serving Mayor, perhaps a Knighthood, and probably doesn’t have a clue what he would do with his life if he was not Mayor of Upper Hutt.
I have learned that the majority of the Councillors, seem to think their job is to protect each other and the Mayor and not do their actual job which is to represent ratepayer interests and access to democracy by representing ratepayers to council.
None of them seem to be particularly interested in administering city services or engageing with ratepayers. We have uncivil governance in Upper Hutt by people who don't encourge public participation, oversight or sharing with the people who elect them to office and then pay their wages.
A modern healthy civilised community promotes literacy through public libraries, physical health and wellbeing through children’s play grounds, sports ground and parks, healthy mind through all of those pursuits and the Arts and other cultural activities.
We also live in an enlightened age, one where we have a moral and actual responsiblity for the waste we produce. Personal and corporate responsibility for safe, efficient, hygenic. Disposal and/or/recycling. These are also central and local governance issues that need to be solved immediately.
That said these services is what our rates for! They are a ratepayer funded service, not a commercial enterprise, that needs to proves a cost to benefit fiscal bottom line, or immediate outcomes, instead it is a longterm investment in the base health of our citzens, our city!

Were you unable to find new authors? Unable to feel free to go to other genre sections for a change?
If we are as a community to fund a public Library, whatever its size, it must be one that everyone can access, not one that excludes groups of people who have paid through their rates for a Library but are now denied equal access, because their their search patterns are misunderstood and not being accounted for!
If we are to provide library services that all ratepayers contribute to, then it needs to be accessible by anyone who can read, traditional genre sections provide that opportunity!
