Rediscovering Christchurch - 'Let's Get it Done' in Wainoni

[rumpelsnorcack]

 Up 'til now all my posts have attempted to be Pollyanna-like investigations of what's awesome about Christchurch right now.  Today's is a little different.  It's about an awesome event, created and run by inspiring people and some amazing volunteers but it took me to some of the harder hit areas of the city.  It took me to places I haven't been

Sounds like an amazing and inspiring day! I'm so glad that you were able to experience it and that so many people are still out there helping the community as it's needed.

It was really good. The article in the Press this morning is good too - explains that as people start to hear about the group they are starting to ask for that help which is YAY. Two turned up at the church yesterday desperate for help. One hadn't been able to open her cupboards and use her oven and another had no food and had no idea where to go to get it. Sad .. so so sad, but at least they are hearing about it now and can get what they need.

Oh that's good. I'm glad this is getting the word out to those who need it that help is still available.

Deeply hoping that your prediction is wrong. *debates what superstitious activities might help ward such a recurrence off from clear across the globe*

This sounds like an excellent initiative!

Ah, see, by predicting it I make it not happen *nods* that's the way with all these quake predictors who'know' the secret so it should work for me :D

I couldn't believe exactly how much that group is still needed. The elderly, especially, are having a hard time.

*crosses fingers* we're at day 3 so I'm hopeful it really was third time lucky :)

Thank you very much for your words.
