Vision

August 2010 I am excited about a new project in Levin. I have set up a Low Power FM Radio station to broadcast specifically for our local Chinese community. We have some very good Chinese programmes to share. 88 FM which opened on Sunday July 25th at noon. We are heard throughout Levin. A new ministry BIBLE SHARING TRUST has been established for oversight. You can get more information about this small station at Google Group . http://groups.google.co.nz/group/88FM

May 2010 One of my interests is Astronomy and I have just completed a short course produced by www.About.com It was very good with instruction pitched at someone just starting out in the hobby. If you would like to read my notes please just send me an email.

March 2010 I have just enjoyed another trip to Christchurch where a Cousin and I again met up with my elderly Auntie To our surprise we learnt she has become famous in Street Culture and is a featured portrait on a pillar at the central Bus Exchange. For her own private reasons Auntie lives as a recluse. She is the only surviving sibling from the large Little family. It is a real honour and privilege to know my elderly Aunt.

December 2009 One of the best things I did this past year was meeting a long lost Aunt in Christchurch. As the New Year 2010 arrives and our much loved Grand children mature my hope is they will have full and satisfying lives in a world where they are safe and happy. My resolution for this new year is to promote well being; amidst smiles, happiness and many Clowns.... !

August 2009 I have been down in Christchurch from 10th till 18th August learning some of the many skills in being a "Clown Doctor". This is a fantastic service which is being introduced to Hospitals and related facilities. If you want to know more about being a "Clown Doctor" let me introduce you to the team.

March 2009 Over recent weeks I have been looking at a Humanitarian project in China and Mongolia. It seems to me there is evidence of need for projects which encourage self sufficiency and life enrichment for impoverished folk. I am presently researching Water Supply, Gardening and Literacy amongst people who are Blinded.

November 2008 Having found out something of our Scotish Heritage I am now working on my Grannies Polish family. Granny Little was a first generation New Zealand citizen but I still recall the lilt in her voice

October 2008 In order to use Air Travel Points I took a trip down to Dunedin and spent a week doing further Family History research at the Hocken Library and National Archives. I found some more interesting information about our family.

June 2008 Recently I put on a costume and performed as "Aljo" the clown at work. My aim as always is to foster and promote miles of smiles "Aljo the Clown" pic

March 2008 For some time I have been interested in things going on in the sky. My bad sight stops me from seeing the moon and those millions of stars which saturate the heavens. On the 6th I went with new friends to visit the local Astronomical Society With the help of a Very High Power telescope and coaching I saw a Star far away. This was another "WOW" for me. There is so much to learn and understand.

February 2008 It will be good commencing work with Presbyterian Support Central at one of their local residential care facilities. My role is as Team Leader Activities with the elderly.

October 6 2007 After about three years of planning we held a very good meeting in Palmerston North forming the Albinism Trust which is on the web with its own small site www.albinism.org.nz

April 2006 I enjoyed a delightful tour of South West Scotland. This was a once in a life time opportunity come about because of changing work circumstances. I visited Glasgow, Islay ,Wanlockhead and Dumfries.

Learning about Scotish History from Tundara Hunters to Celtic tribes was fasinating. Whilst aincient history dates back c7000 BC, I took joy in learning about people and places I recognised. Sir William Wallace; King Robert the Bruce; Robby Burns. It was good to be there where they had been. I attended Church at St Matthews in Dumfries where the bard Robbie Burns is burried. Below are pictures of both St Matthews Church and a Celtic Cross at the foot of which I sat and thought on Good Friday 14th April 2006.

A major draw for me to Scotland was a longing to visit Wanlockhead the little Village where my ancestors lived and died. I wanted to find their grave stones and walk in the environment they would have known from about the mid 1700s. If you are interested in any aspect of my family history please email me.

Some may ask why look back into history, why not just..."live today and live it well". I believe in all things working together for good from our past and present. Our past is the foundation of life and hope for the future.

When I was just a small kid sipping school milk, I knew nothing of the things which were to come. Here I am sipping School milk at Milton Otago about January / February 1957 -
