First stop was the riverbank market to get my fruit and vege. Rachel suggested I get a cabbage to make cabbage soup. After all, that was what Charlie’s family ate, from Charlie and the chocolate factory. And apparently the thing that goes best with cabbage soup is a cabbage. Other bargains were some apples and potatoes that had blemishes, and pumpkin which is in abundance at this time of year. blogs election-candiates-2010 elections2010 local-body-elections huttvalley places Sat, 20 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://huttchick.wordpress.com/2011/08/20/below-the-line-shopping-day/ Hutt Chick 2011-08-20T00:00:00Z http://huttchick.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/below-the-line-starts-in-3-days/ From 22 – 26 August 2011, I will be living on $2.25 a day of food and drink to get a better understanding of the challenges faced by people who live in extreme poverty.

The others were waiting. I got into the waiting patrol car, and buckled up. I was going out on community patrol in Naenae. Community patrols work alongside police to build safer communities, providing an extra set of eyes and ears. We drove a random route but to some set areas, through schools, up alleyways behind businesses, making sure the streets were safe and providing a visual deterrent for tagging and other crime. crime
