It's lovely to hear about it. I'd not heard the term 'sunshine story' before. There are very few buses in Napier and Hastings and I've never asked how people without transport get to things like hospital re-hab. I must find out. I suspect that much of it relies on friends with cars.

When I do this, I always go in early enough to get myself something to eat at another stall before I start my shift. This time, I still had time after that, so I went to buy a little something for a friend at another stall. When I paid, I mentioned to the stallholder that I was going to start my shift at a nearby stall now. She wanted to know which one, so I told her about our work for the Bangladeshi women. She instantly gave me some money to put into our donations box. I found that very kind!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-35645274741468090192013-12-17T19:31:29.759+01:002013-12-17T19:31:29.759+01:00P.S.
