Do you need a hand in Christchurch
Tom Young, who is working with Sam Johnson, on the student volunteer clean-up of affected Christchurch properties has e-mailed:
At the moment we basically have the problem that we have a lot of volunteers willing and able to help, but not enough jobs to do. I’m just wondering if any of your readers know of any properties in the Christchurch region that need a hand, we`re predominately moving silt and other earthquake related rubbish from properties. If your readers know of any properties which have this sort of damage we can help if they email sam@samjohnson.co.nz, describing the problem, their address and a contact number. If no-one is home it would be good if the owners put a note on the door giving permission for us to do the work as well.
So if any readers are in Christchurch, and would like some student help, or know someone who would – just e-mail Sam.

I notice that Sam is standing for his local community board – if I was in Chch I would vote for him. Well done Sam and all the volunteers.

As. Usual the media give a totally distorted picture of what is happening. I came in from the airport today and you would have to look pretty damn hard to see any damage. chch is open for business. It is not a war zone. Just the odd building here and there.

tvb, two points.
That’s a brilliant case for why John Key needed to go there – to see what was *not* damaged. That, you can’t see on tv.
Yet I’m sure if you looked closely at some of those “undamaged” buildings, you would see serious cracks that threaten the integrity of those houses, forcing major work. Again, a good reason for Key to go see.

This has to be one of the best initiatives I’ve ever seen.
Anyone know how to make an OBE nomination?

Tonights news has delllow in front onf one of the very FEW buildings that is rubble. How about standing in front of the many buildings OPEN for business. It is normal, people are about, not many. But these negative stories are harming the economic recovery.
