A poetry show like no other!

On the back of a sell-out show at The Convent, Hiruhārama - Jerusalem, Chris Gallavin takes his utterly unique, engaging and entertaining poetry show to Our Lady's Home of Compassion, Island Bay. This is a show that weaves the narrative of New Zealand as a people, a country and a mix of cultures, through carefully written and selected poems, stories, and music. Accompanied by Paul Turner of Ceol Manawatu and surrounded by a spectacular exhibition of photographs taken at their recent sold-out show in Jerusalem, this is a show not to be missed!

24 August 2019, 3:00pm-5:30pm.
Our Lady's Home of Compassion, 2 Rhine Street (off Murray Street), Island Bay, Wellington.

Tickets available on Eventfinda.

Last weekend brought some wild weather! 🌧🌩☔️
We saw a number of roads affected by surface flooding as well as a number of wastewater overflows throughout the region.

When too much water gets into wastewater pipes it can overflow into the natural environment, typically during periods of heavy rainfall. We recommend you do not swim for two days following a heavy rainfall event. This is to not only protect you from contaminants from stormwater runoff, but also potential wastewater overflows.

Sharonika finds resilience through Graeme Dingle Foundation

Graeme Dingle Foundation

Teen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and … View moreTeen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’

Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.
