16 Tuesday December 12 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi News WESTERN NEWS Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk Broomfield gets a good sweeping • By Emily O’Connell FIFTY-FIVE volunteers joined forces to clean the streets of Broomfield. World Mission Society Church of God church members and neighbours cleaned the streets about Vanguard Drive and Buchanans Rd, near the Broomfield Common Reserve. The Church of God is carrying out this ‘Mother’s Street Movement’, in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Finland, Japan, Taiwan, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, India, South Africa, Cameroon, Ghana, Mongolia and Cambodia. The aim is to motivate people to clean 40,000km across the earth with the heart of a mother who regards her neighbors as a family, and to make love and happiness through the streets of the world. A church official said “if mothers cleaned the streets, how clean the streets would be” and “if mothers are there, how bright all the streets would be,” he said. “By starting to clean the messy streets, the dark streets will be lit up brightly when tidied up neatly.” COMBINED EFFORTS: The 55 volunteers who helped clean the streets of Broomfield last weekend. “If these activities take place in all the streets of the world, they will be filled with love and happiness.” The volunteers collected plastic, disposable cups, plastic containers, cans, cigarette butts, glass bottles, microwaves, abandoned trolleys and large tree branches. They filled about 50 rubbish bags. Michelle Hodgetts, who participated with her children, was more delighted to clean with mother’s heart. “I’m very happy to join today’s event to spread Mother’s love to our neighbours and communities because the world needs this the most,” she said. College student, Keanu Mihaka, who participated in volunteer activities with his friends said “the more I participate in these cleanup events, the happier I feel.” Church of God members have been steadily carrying out environmental clean-up activities in various parts of the country, and have been devoted to their neighbors and society through various volunteer activities such as blood donation campaigns and disaster relief activities. “We will continue to spread hope and happiness through good conduct, with the love of our mother centering around 6,000 local churches established around the world,” an official of the Church of God said.
