We raised money for Plunket. I was glad to see my favourite Plunket nurse, Jane.
I was busy giving out Goodie bags, so I spoke to Jane briefly.

We sold coffee to build a well in Thailand.
Summer means sand and beach. This bouncy castle depicts one at the beach. Free bouncing is a hit with little children.
Face painting, I had to get Gloria to stand where the sun was good for the photo. She was very patient until her friends went away.
Here is Albert, the team leader of the ESOL students and Chinese Fellowship volunteers. He is standing with Eric and Mary Regondi, our newest ESOL students from Argentina. Behind them is our personalised Christmas tree. I want to thank Tom Lovatt and Kuda from Zimbawi who took a lot of time to make the tree behind my personalised tree. Sorry you couldn't see a green band with Pasifika theme and red bow. This was to tell the 30 or so volunteers where we would assemble. We had a picnic. Asian picnics are done in style and a big way. We had sushi, fried noodles, friend rice, dumplings. Pity I did not think of taking photos.
The lovely Jessica Lovatt, Tom's sister.
