3.Turning strangers into neighbors and streets into neighborhoods,Neighbors Day Aotearoa is back for the third year as a national celebration of neighborliness.Neighbors Day Aotearoa (NDA) on 23-24 March will give all Kiwis a great opportunity to connect with others in their immediate neighborhood.
Over the weekend,thousands of neighbors all around the country will gather together to get to know each other,and make connections and support systems that will continue to enrich their lives long after the weekend has ended.
A shining example of neighborly spirit inspired by NDA is Victoria Dawson-Wheeler,a 32-year-old from Arch Hill,Auckland,who won the Neighbors Day Aotearoa story competition last year.
Victoria organized a big breakfast for her whole neighborhood,asking local business to take part by donating enough coffee,muffins,and bacon for everyone who came along.
She also created a gift-swap exercise called"Love thy neighbor"where each participant had to talk with at least two other households in the neighborhood.
It was a huge success."I was blown away by the generosity and thoughtfulness of everyone present,"she says."It's so hard to meet people,nobody wants to be the first to say‘hi',but once you're past that stage it's great!"
Since Neighbors Day,Arch Hill has become known for its community-mindedness.When babies are born,people drop by with food and clothes for the new parents.When a neighbor is in trouble,people are now much more likely to lend a hand.
"These small but important changes in neighborhoods are what Neighbors Day Aotearoa is all about.More and more of this happening tight around the country will mean neighborliness is increasing in every community.We're already starting to see this movement grow,"says John McCarthy,one of the organizers.
With better connected streets,neighborhoods,and more everyday neighborliness,New Zealand communities will be stronger and more able to deal with many of the social concerns that exist in Aotearoa.
The Neighbors Day website (www.neighborsday.org.nz) features NDA success stories to help inspire New Zealanders to take part in Neighbors Day.Participants who sign up through the website will be sent a resource pack with lots of great ideas to organize an NDA celebration that works£or their neighborhood.
