The diary

A New Zealand song is promoting the launch of an Australian homeless initiative in Wellington. How do you

sleep? is a song about homelessness that is gathering momentum across social media. Written and performed by Wellington singer-songwriter

Ryan Edwards and his 15-year-old daughter, Lily-wai, the song and music video highlights the work done by Australian movement Points for Purpose, which encourages people to use their excess loyalty points to buy sleeping bags for the homeless. Founder David Drury launched Points for Purpose in Wellington this week to benefit Wellington’s homeless. Visit pointsforpurpose.org to see how to buy and donate a sleeping bag to benefit homeless people in Wellington by using FlyBuys points. To celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility, Wellington’s Michael Fowler Centre will be lit with blue and pink hues tonight.
