Apparently it is Red and Black day today. This is where people all around the country are wearing red and black to school, work, or just around home, to lend their support to Christchurch. Some schools around New Zealand are also holding cake stalls, coin trails, and the like, to raise funds.How amazing is New Zealand?
Here is a gorgeous photo of my cousin, Paula's two girls (Alex and Olivia). Alex (on right) started school earlier this year in Wellington, and her school is holding a red and black day today. Of course, Olivia (my god-daughter who is 3 years) had to dress up too. Well done, girls!
N.B. Alex's school (I'm not sure which school) is having a their school gala soon, and they have decided to donate 75% of their profit to a Christchurch school in need. Last year, their gala raised $59,000!!! This is amazaingly generous!
The staff at Wairakei School have an off-site meeting this morning, about re-opening, repairing, and cleaning up the school. So I guess I should go and find something red and black to wear.
