In the true spirit of volunteering “YOU work because you have to…
                                                 …YOU volunteer cause you WANT to”
Volunteering NZ has released a great few words of wisdom below that tells you about the value of volunteering and we think it’s worth a wee read.
Volunteering is good for you, your community and for the social development of the country because it helps build the "social fabric" that keeps us connected and engaged in our world. We all have skills that can help others. This year’s theme is “Live, laugh, share -- Volunteer” or “Kia ringa hora: Me mahi tūao.”
This positive message is about celebrating what volunteers bring to their communities. It is important to recognise volunteering and the place it has in keeping our communities strong and healthy.
The benefits of being a volunteer are well-documented.
There’s better health and the ‘feel good’ endorphins that volunteering releases; around how volunteering can help with job prospects; and other health benefits such as extending longevity and reducing depression in many people. As poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson observed,
“It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely help another without helping himself.”
National Volunteer Week is a great opportunity to start volunteering or, if you already volunteer, it’s a great time to invite a friend to join you. The positive message for the Week celebrates the joy that volunteers bring to their communities. It also reminds us that volunteers reap the reward of a happier, more engaged life because they feel connected to their community. For more information, visit: www.nationalvolunteerweek.nz

Safer Boating Week

13/10/2015

0 Comments

 
Safer Boating Week runs from 16 – 23 October 2015 aims to focus boaties’ attention on key safety messages as they get their vessels and gear ready for the traditional start of the boating season at Labour weekend.
“Too many recreational boaties end in the water or in difficulty and have no way of calling for help,” says Maritime NZ education and communications manager Pania Shingleton.  “Everybody should carry two reliable forms of communications equipment, and make sure they are water-tight.”
Cell phones should be carried in waterproof bags, so that calls can reliably be made by pushing buttons through the plastic covering. Other communications options include distress beacons (PLBs – personal locator beacons), hand-held VHF radio (Channel 16), and flares to draw rescuers” attention.
