 I want to tell you about a charity that I am involved with The recipients of this charity have a peculiar trait, they attempt suicide at 10 times the national average.....
Around 41% of this section of society attempt suicide.
That rate increases markedly to 60 or 70% if they have been physically or sexually abused or bullied.
What you might ask would cause people to commit suicide at such a rate.
They are rejected and shunned by their families and friends and this leads to depression, poverty, despair and finally suicide.
What is the terrible crime of these people that makes them be rejected, ridiculed and abused by their families and former friends you might ask?
In truth, they have a medical condition that they can do nothing about and because of this they are shunned.
What, in this day and age would make society shun people with a medical condition?

The "How to Keep Safe With Dogs" pamphlets are to be delivered by Pat and Bruce this week, to all Wakatipu schools. David Carter has given $80 towards the $1166.00 cost and challenges all other dog owners to do the same. Monica thinks that all members with grandchildren under 6 should also match David's contribution.
