Fair success
The Nelson Branch of Save The Children would like to thank everyone who helped to make our recent Annual Fair such a success. To all those individuals and businesses who donated goods and prizes, we thank you for your generosity and also acknowledge the sponsors for their support. Sixty-five people were involved in the organisation, an amazing group of people who worked so enthusiastically. Finally, our thanks to the members of the public who turned out for the event, contributing to the $7289 raised. The proceeds will be used in Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh where Save The Children teams are providing vital services to Rohingyan refugees. These include more shelter, food, clean drinking water, hygiene and sanitation support along with designated safe places where children can play safely. Thank you to the people of Nelson /Tasman who have supported us. In doing so you have made a difference to the lives of many vulnerable children International Bill of Rights comes freedom bestowed to a person, the right to have choice.
As a result, its a rather interesting, if not frustrating process when dealing with Corporations and the drive to install the Smart grid. I wrote approximately 4 months ago that my power company sent a letter detailing their intention to install a smart meter. If one is not aware that they are not compulsory in New Zealand, one would give in to such a letter as it felt that there was no option.
We had a few solar panels installed and as the power company was not favourable to solar panels, we changed power company. This however, required a change in meters and I requested up-dated analogue Legacy meters. One can request the removal of the modem and Zigbee chip in the smart meter to stop the transmitting, however, it is still a smart meter and possibly still capable of emitting the nonionising radiation that many are concerned about. The push to install the smart ’agenda’’ and specifically smart meters, can be a very tiring process when wanting to assert one’s democratic right to say no.
