NAPIER FRIENDSHIP FORCE EXCHANGE PROGRAMME 2010/2011

In June a small group of Napier Friendship Force club members will spend two weeks in South America, being home hosted by members of sister clubs in Chile and Peru. We still have space on this exchange for a few suitable candidates.

" We depart on 31st May for Santiago, Chile. Then fly on to our first seven day home hosting with the club of La Serena. We then spend 3 days in Cusco, Peru to explore Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas. Next, we travel to our second seven day home hosting with the club of La Libertad, north of Lima. This completes our official exchange. However, several members plan to continue to southern Brazil, spending three days in Rio de Janeiro and two more at the Iguacu Falls, returning home on 26th June."

If any members of the local community feel they would like to join our group, would they please contact either our Exchange Director: Jenny Connor on 06-874 3886 Phone/Fax, or the Club President: Michael Lott by email at: mikelott@actrix.co.nz , either of whom will then outline the conditions of participation and indicate the likely overall cost of the experience.

Friendship Force International (FFI) is a worldwide network of clubs whose mission is to promote global understanding across the barriers that separate people. We do this by connecting people from different countries at the personal level. FFI club members are known universally as Ambassadors since their behaviour and attitudes while travelling reflect their particular culture. When local hosts open their homes to visitors from other countries and cultures, true understanding can develop through the sharing of meals, conversation and the routines of daily life. Since its founding in 1977 FFI has brought together millions of people. In 2007 alone, 5767 friendship ambassadors traveled between 58 countries, with thousands more serving as hosts. Our mission, structure and activities are described in our website: www.thefriendshipforce.org.

The Napier club, whose patrons are the Mayors of Napier and Hastings, was chartered in 1984, and has approximately 40 mainly retired or semi-retired members living within a 30 km radius of Napier; we welcome inbound exchanges from other FFI clubs from around the world and will ourselves be home hosting members of the Oregon, USA club in September 2010, home hosting club members from Indonesia in 2011, and travelling to clubs in Canada, Washington and Idaho, USA in March 2011.

Impactwear Hip Protectors Limited - Equipment and Products
Albany 0752

IMPACTWEAR® HIP PROTECTORS - PROTECTION AGAINST HIP FRACTURES

As we age the risk of falling increases, often as a result of medical conditions which cause difficulties with balance and mobility.

A hip fracture, as a result of a fall, can have devastating effects. The good news is that Impactwear® Hip Protectors, which have been researched, developed and manufactured in New Zealand for over 10 years, have been specially designed to help prevent a fall related hip fracture.

These 'high tech' reinforced thermoplastic shields, enable thin but very strong and effective hip protection. The shields are designed to absorb and deflect the impact energy away from vulnerable bones in a fall onto the hip area. They are moulded to fit the curved surface of the body and are held in place by specially designed underwear.

For the best comfort and fit, there are two styles of Impactwear® underwear for ladies and one designed especially for men. All styles are available in eight sizes, offering the largest range to suit all shapes and sizes. The underwear has padded internal pockets for the shields to sit in, for a comfortable and secure fit.

All Impactwear® underwear is proudly manufactured in New Zealand, ensuring consistent high quality that you can trust.

The Monte Vista Family & Residents Christmas Party was enjoyed by all.

Our Christmas theme - 'A Kiwi Christmas at the Lake' so the reception area was decorated with things New Zealand kiwi beach. No sand - the cat might have got the wrong idea of what it was for.

Our Christmas Residents & Family party started with Taupo's Official Bag Piper & Monte Vista volunteer, Don Ryder, playing Christmas carols before we blessed our food and gave thanks for our fellowship.

Other entertainment included musical performances by families on the clarinet and guitar.

A fine feast was prepared by our chief chef, Sandy, with her husband, volunteer Noel, having made the Christmas cake & plum puddings. Staff assisted with serving and then joined residents at the tables or perched on settee chairs. No uniforms - it was a party.

Of course Santa (aka Noel) remembered to visit on Christmas day.

Sumner Bays Union Trust Newsletter February 2010

Hello everyone,

As I write, I am feeling very warm. Summer has finally come? I wish there was a cooler breeze to off-set this heat.

Several new projects are in development for this year, and I am eager to get feedback about these from you. Existing projects such as Coffee and Conversation, Sumner LunchBreak, Mini Music, the Sumner Art & Craft Market, and Redcliffs Community Garden "The Onion Patch" are continuing well. The Community Men's Shed project is still in its infancy, and I was delighted to have some interest last month regarding a steering committee for this.

Sumner Community Choir

Recently someone identified this as a need for Sumner and prior to Christmas I put up posters to garner interest. A number of people have indicated their interest and I am in the process of developing a project proposal and plan. A choir needs a conductor and an accompanist (unless it is a cappella) and I am considering options for these. I am open to ideas about this. The questions foremost on my mind for anyone who is interested in being involved, include ‘what do you want out of a choir?’, ‘what kind of music do you want to sing?’ and ‘how do you see this project going forward?’

Sumner Community Garden

In my newsletter extra, I announced the generous donation from the Sumner Health Centre to the Sumner Community Garden. I cannot emphasis enough just how grateful the Trust and the Sumner Community Gardeners are for this donation. This project is progressing very quickly now. Today’s edition of Bay Harbour News (p. 13) covers this donation. Thank you to Caroline King for writing the article and being so willing to do so.

Transitional Communities Project

Late last year Shane Orchard, a Sumner resident, approached our Trust about working on a transitional community project for the Sumner-Redcliffs-Mt Pleasant area. Transitional Community is a term adapted in New Zealand from the British Transition Town movement. This movement is based around the concept of building communities that are resilient to future changes. Such changes are usually around the fact that oil production has peaked and will decline in years to come, leaving us unable to rely on fossil fuels for our transport and other energy needs. Shane has organised for James Samuels, an expert on Transitional Communities to come down to Christchurch in early March to hold workshops/seminars on the concept. One such event is going to be held in Sumner on 17 March at 7.30 pm at the Sumner Union Church hall on Nayland Street. The programme will include James Samuels speaking, Shane and I talking about what we are doing in Sumner, and the showing of the film ‘In Transition’

“The film explains but doesn’t dwell on the twin shocks of peak oil and climate change… but the notion of community resiliency is really the star of this show”. From a Review by Stephen Cook , Transition Denver”

Community Forum

Another in-development project is our Community Forum project. We are looking at running a monthly forum for local community groups to discuss their projects, issues facing the community, and generally network. Shupayi Mpunga, Community Development Advisor for the Hagley Ferrymead ward is working with me on this project and we have both generated shortlists of groups in Sumner and Redcliffs. Sometimes projects out here seem a little geographically isolated from the rest of Christchurch to me, and this is a great opportunity to work together more. We are looking at starting this in May 2010. If your community group is interested, please do get in contact.

Mini Music

Mini Music Redcliffs started for the first time earlier this month and our Sumner group resumed. I enjoy the opportunity to meet the kids and their parents/caregivers, and I want to acknowledge the vital role that Plunket plays behind the scenes - from finding our fantastic tutor, Cathy, who is on the Sumner Committee, to allowing us the use of their resources in Redcliffs. The cross-over between our Coffee & Conversation group and the Mini Music group is great on a Thursday morning at Redcliffs. I have posted some photographs on Facebook.

I plan to hold focus groups shortly and discuss projects in development further with the community. Sometimes projects develop slowly over months and then there is a flush of growth (sometimes literally, as in the gardens) and we make rapid progress over a short period of time. This is, I believe, one of the strengths and weaknesses of work in the community. It continues to surprise me how quickly things can happen when the time and resources are right.

Warm regards,

Esther Hayes

Community Development Worker
