Mica - congratulations on your 50th anniversary - no doubt you will share many stories with your friends - the highlights and the hilarious happenings over the 50 years
Popeye the ladies at the rest home will really miss you and no doubt you will miss being so involved - one thing I bet management don’t keep up your good work
All the bad press the Destiny church is deservedly getting - they do amazing work here in the prison and when young men are released - Robie has hired 3 young men who have been through the man up program and there is a list of businesses offering employment to prisoners who have been through the program - yesterday my brother completed 25 one bedroom units built by the church for released prisoners - they cost 90k each to build which included a gym and basketball court - the rules are strict and only those who have done the work before they are released will be given a unit - Tamaki is a lunatic and a thug but there are people within the church doing real good work and unlike the Waipārera trust who is paid entirely by the tax payer and pays 290 of their executives an average salary over half a million taxpayers dollars - Destiny is self funded -Luxon has signalled that all charities including Destiny and Waipārera are not going to like the tax changes in the upcoming budget it’s long overdue .Sanitarium donate a lot of Weetbix but they should be paying tax - Foodstuffs operators donated 6 million food boxes to Foodbank last year probably more than Sanitarium- Hellers and Tegal are also extremely generous - rant over
I watched a couple of episodes of the Belle Gibson story on Netflix - what a complex story - will watch it to the end - amazing she managed to conn not only so many people but actually believed her own story
