Fruit For Our Children

By Dana Louise Stewart

What a great day we had with our guest actor and musician Greg Cipes.  Greg was visiting New Zealand as part of the Armageddon Expo and came to visit us to plant fruit trees.  The children were so excited and had so much fun, learning how easy it is to plant fruit trees.  We had great discussions on what that would and can provide for our future and the children were so inspired they were all going home to ask their parents if they could plant more!  Thank you Greg for being such a positive inspiration to children all over the globe!  Remember that our future is in our own hands and taking the time to dedicate to such a great cause was much appreciated.  May it be an inspiration to many many more actors to get behind great charities to promote healthy, sustainable living for the future of our children.

Greg has also kindly donated the proceeds from one of his songs “Free Me” that showcases on the Real N’ Raw soundtrack to this trust.  Help to support fruit tree planting in NZ by visiting our itunes store or by purchasing the Real N’ Raw DVD/Soundtrack for the bargain price of $19.95 NZD.

Thanks to a $500 donation from Gull we were able to purchase 20 fruit trees to plant our first Fruit For Our Children fruit tree food forest.  A lot of fun was had over several planting b’s.  Chalice now has an amazing back yard with more than 20 planted fruit trees along with natives a vegetable patch and what was a grass lawn is now totally transformed to be able to provide fresh fruit for many many years to come.  Thanks to everyone who came and supported and Gull for donating to a great cause.

Now I know that there are a lot of people out there who think that fluoride is really good for our children’s teeth.  I am posting a link here to also show you there is another tale to tell.  One of the biggest lessons I have learnt in my life is to question before we embark upon chinese whisper rumors that are spread wildly about town.  We buy our own water and will not drink fluoridated tap water.  Watch the video on the website below and further your research before you make a decision.

Fluoride Action Network New Zealand is a great place for information.
