Out in the garden … Autumn is here and the growing season is slowing. March is a major harvesting period. The garden will be laden with crops like tomatoes, beans, sweetcorn and beetroot, all ready to be picked, bottled, preserved, and prepared for use over the colder months. Mushrooms may also start popping up. Dry and save seeds of tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and beans, and store them in labelled envelopes ready for sowing in the spring. Replenish the soil with a new layer of compost. SPECIAL ATTENTION • Carrots – thin rows of carrots to ensure the roots develop evenly, and to reduce the risk of attack by carrot rust fly. • Lettuces – these can easily be grown through the cooler months; the red-leafed and cos types are the best ones to grow. • Potatoes – dig up main crop potatoes when the tops begin to die down and wither. Store in sacks in a dry place with plenty of air movement and away from direct sunlight. • Tomatoes – cut long, leafy stems back to encourage the fruit that has set on the bottom part of the plant to develop fully and ripen. It's unlikely that any flower appearing on the end of these stems will set fruit that will be able to ripen this season. Immediately remove any diseased leaves or fruit that may appear, to limit the spread of the problem. SOW • Beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, carrots, cauliflowers, celery, lettuces, mesclun, parsley, radishes, rocket, spinach, silverbeet, coriander. PLANT • Beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, carrots, cauliflowers, cavolo nero, celery, courgettes, kale, leeks, lettuces, peas, silverbeet, spinach, coriander, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme. FERTILISE • Feed established plants once a month with plant fetilizer. Some crops, like pumpkins and melons, can be fed every two weeks. PROTECT • Mildew can be a problem on cucumbers, courgettes and marrows; watch for this. Lay slug & snail pellets control to control pests, and spray aphids and whitefly if they are still a problem. White butterflies and their hungry caterpillars will be lurking about too; deter them with derris dust. HARVEST • Beans (all types except broad beans), beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, capsicums, cauliflowers, celery, chillies, courgettes, cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce, marrows, peas, potatoes, sweetcorn, tomatoes.

Joanne from LiFE Church says “It was very encouraging last year we received Donations from nearly everyone we approached .” Orphans Aid International exists to bring relief and care to orphaned children around the world, but we can’t do it alone. • Since 2007 we have been funding a feeding and basic medical programme for children that live in the gutters, pavements and rubbish piles of Kolkata • Estimated 18 million children living on the streets in India • Rat bites, malaria and starvation are everyday hazards • Medical help and food for over 500 children in 11 slums • Education and food for children living at the Bhutan border • Looking to purchase ambulance • Currently operating 4 schools, with a 5th being built in the north • This project relies heavily on much needed regular sponsorships It was started by friends of Mike & Joannes from Invercargill who visited Romania and just had to respond to the overwhelming needs there. Uganda | The Imuka Project After some years working in the area, 2014 has seen the launch of the Imuka Family Strengthening project. Our team in Uganda are working hard to ensure children are kept in families if at all possible, and are supporting families with all the help they need to keep their children. There are over 150 million children without parental care in the world right now! It’s a different model than those above – but already has local community support and is literally saving children’s lives. It’s time for us to bring change & ensure orphaned children are cared & provided for. We have projects in Romania, Russia and India. • Reducing poverty through education • Strengthening families to prevent abandonment from happening • Teaching skills for the community to care for their families and those around them • Coaching to better hygiene, water conservation and agricultural growing techniques • Entrepreneurial business start up skills to provide for themselves and their families • Food support, emergency accommodation, medical intervention, long-term social work We also provide for extreme needs in New Zealand. Romania | Romania's Forgotten Following Ceausescu’s dictatorship, which ended in 1989, the world saw the plight of thousands of orphaned and neglected Romanian children. Orphans Aid International became involved in 2004 through the establishment of ‘Casa Kiwi’. The problems may not be as widely publicised as in 1989, but the neglect of these children that live in Romanian hospitals and institutions is still just as real today. In many ways the need to help is more urgent as many wish to believe the problem has gone away. Therefore, few resources are being provided to address the poverty and abandonment of children. The situation has now extended to the next generation. • Opened in 2004 with over 60 abandoned children placed in loving families • Hundreds helped with surgery, gifts and food • Casa Kiwi one of only a few foundations facilitating adoptions in Romania • Has respect and influence with local Romanian authorities • This project relies heavily on much needed regular sponsorships Russia | The Auyshki Centre We have been working in Kostroma, Russia since 2005, and on Boxing Day 2009, we had the joy of seeing the centre officially opened. The Auyshki Centre is providing daily care for more than 20 children. The centre assists children who don't meet the criteria to live in a state orphanage or who are already part of the orphanage system. We've also helped hundreds with eye care and glasses, and hold annual camps for children in extreme need who otherwise would not have the opportunity. • Opened in 2005, the Auyshki Centre has an amazing team of 19 volunteer staff, many of them specialists in areas of child development The centre partners with and assists: • Children with disabilities who live at a boarding school • Children who live in extreme need • Children whose mothers are in prison • Children who live in institutions, orphanages and correction centres • This project relies heavily on much needed regular sponsorships India | ASHA Neketon If you have seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire you've seen the face of the children we serve in Kolkata, India. Since 2007 we have been funding a food and basic medical programme for children that live in the gutters, pavements and rubbish piles of Kolkata. These children are surviving because of practical help given to them via supporters providing the bare necessities such as rice and plastic sheets to sleep under. A country with such huge needs, it can seem overwhelming. New Zealand | Hardship at Home Since the start of our New Zealand Opshops in 2005 we have been helping New Zealanders through keeping prices of our basic items such as bedding and clothing at very low prices and also providing basic items to families in need.

The weather was stunning (in the high 20’s), by the time all swimmers had completed their racing for the day. There was a great turn out for all age groups from the 8+ yrs thru to the Masters, so a big thank you to all who participated on home turf. Thank you this year to Rebecca Long for the organisation of today’s event, we appreciate it takes time to co-ordinate all parties needed to have a carnival run smoothly. Thank you also to all people who helped in roles from Marshalling, Timekeeping, the Scorers, Runners & anyone else who has been overlooked. Kayne elected “Graeme Abbot for Swimmer of the Day” for this Carnival for getting in the pool & having to work hard against strong competition in the Masters group this year! The kids were disappointed not to see their coach “strut his stuff” in the water this year – maybe next time hey Kayne!! The relay teams (as always) saw all swimmers giving it their all for their team, which takes some effort at the end of the day’s racing & they managed to gain 1st & 2nd places again. Next week, will see us close the season with the Swim Champ Final’s which is held at Amberley. It is Hanmer’s turn to organise this year’s event which will mean another big effort from parent’s & children of “Team Hanmer”. For those children who have been selected to represent their school at the Hurunui Zone swim sports on Tuesday, we wish them all the best for their races – then rest up for the final competition at Amberley next Sunday 8th March 10am.
