If you know where he is - even if something awful has happened to Theo - please let Evon know on 09 4353202. Locals - please check your sheds etc - He may be hiding.

Some Councillors have forced an extraordinary meeting re this, for this Thursday. It will not be good news for ratepayers. Interesting timing given it's election year too.

Parts of the North Island are expected to be hit by heavy rain and severe gales this week, as Cyclone Fili reaches New Zealand.

Be sure to keep mobile phones charged and ensure you have a car charger for your devices so you can keep in touch and keep informed. It also may pay to have a torch handy (they are safer than candles which can be a fire hazard) and have a gas bottle topped up for cooking.

CWD are a Northland New Zealand-based registered charity CC5914

My commitment as CEO of Children with Disability NZ is to take the concept of acceptance and inclusion for disabled children and their families to every town in New Zealand, to do this I will need help with research sending emails and contacting all councils

The goal is to submit plans and suggestions to every new playground development in New Zealand to include accessible play. I am making connections with playground providers I feel sure will help promote this concept

If you are good on a computer and can work from home researching eg looking up council “have your say pages” and submitting a prepared plan. Our disabled children need to feel more included.

Please PM me of Facebook or email Glen at childrenwithdisabilitynz@gmail.com
