Inspiring Weekend Reading

I don’t usually read the property section of the Dominion Post as I’ve found it easier over the last few years not to look at house prices while they’ve dropped. However this weekend there was a double half page coloured spread about a young refugee couple from Myanmar who have turned the barren land of their housing NZ property into an amazing vegetable plot while sewing their own clothes and upholstering their own furniture. The article was a great reminder of what can be done when you have to and have limited finances. It made me realise that hubby and I  still have a way to go in terms of reducing our spending even though we have come a long way this year.  If you’re interested in finding out in being a refugee helper here is the link Volunteering with Refugee Services – Refugee Services
