Our movie fundraiser is being held on Thursday 22 June at 6pm at Shoreline Cinema.
The movie this month, is The Olive Tree: Alma is a young girl with emotional problems and a special relationship with her grandfather Ramón, an old country man who stopped talking about 12 years ago after his son, Alma’s father, sold a 2000-years-old olive tree in order to open a restaurant. Dominated by the sadness and the melancholia by the loss of his most beloved tree, Ramon spends his days visiting the place where the olive tree was planted, hoping the day the tree returns. Unable to bear the situation any longer, Alma looking for the olive tree, discovering that it was acquired by a Germany’s energy company located in Dusseldorf. Without money or resources, Alma convinces her uncle Alcachofa and her friend Rafa (who has a love interest for her) to go in a truck from Spain to Germany to recover the tree, starting a travel with unexpected consequences for everyone…

VOTE FOR US NOW – 1 VOTE PER DAY SO KEEP ON VOTING!!
Can you please vote for us!!
We will be profiling each of the finalists of our Haier New Zealand/Cooking 4 Change competition in order for all of you to get to know a little bit about them and what they do- and hopefully help you decide who you would like to vote for. To start off: Kapiti Womens Centre.
The Kapiti Women’s Centre is a feminist organisation which promotes the physical, mental and spiritual well being of women on the Kapiti Coast.
Kapiti Womens Centre is a haven for women and their dependents in Kapiti. They provide referrals to all other services, free counselling courses, fellowship and a variety of other support services. Funding is becoming a real issue and they are working really hard to keep this service.
Due to a government funding change they need to source quite a significant shortfall to ensure the women of their community remain empowered by the services they supply as a charitable organisation. They offer free counselling and discounted courses to women who are the catalyst for change in not only themselves but their family’s, their friends, and their communities.
Kapiti Women’s Centre have mentioned that they might raffle the fridge in order to raise funds to be able to continue providing the services they offer.
