The year 5 St Mark’s School pupil came up with the idea to walk up to 10km to fundraise for children in Uganda who do the same on an empty stomach every day. Walk With a Purpose saw more than 70 of Olive’s fellow pupils and their parents get behind the school’s first official fundraiser last month. Almost $2000 which was raised in cash and through a Givealittle page will be donated to the Fountain of Peace Children’s Foundation NZ. The money will go towards keeping 501 children fed at Rwenjaza Hillside School in Uganda. Olive said she was “really proud” that so many of her friends were willing to get on board.

Fountain of Peace volunteer co-ordinator Tania Sharr is the mother of two pupils at St Mark’s and helped organise the fundraiser with Olive and her mum Lottie Harris. Mrs Sharr said she was blown away by the school’s response. “I get quite tearful thinking about it. It really makes you realise that the world is a big community. Even though the students in Uganda are a long way away it means a lot to them,” she said. Fountain of Peace was established in New Zealand in 2012. It aims to create familybased homes for orphaned and abandoned children in rural Uganda, as well as working to provide clean water, education, health care and sustainable projects for the whole community. •If you wish to donate to Walk With a Purpose visit https://givealittle.co.nz/ cause/saint-marks-walkwith-purpose SUPPORT: One group of pupils from St Mark’s School woke up early and walked up to 10km to school from areas such as Lyttelton, Mt Pleasant and Cashmere.

Rare crabeater seal stops at Birdlings Flat A SEAL rarely seen in New Zealand popped in for a rest at Birdlings Flat less than a week after making its home on Dunedin shores. Crabeater seals are usually found on pack ice around the Antarctic and seldom make the trip to New Zealand shores, with only eight sightings documented across the country between 1885 and 2015. But a lone traveller has been spotted snoozing at Birdlings Flat after another sighting on a beach near Dunedin on July 2. There have been three sightings this year, including the recent one in Dunedin, which may be the same seal who rested at Birdlings Flat before heading back out to sea. One was found dead inland from Lake Ellesmere in May this year. University of Otago student ECan biodiversity officer Helen Greenep said the chosen projects are set to make a real difference to Banks Peninsula’s natural environment. “Protection is the priority, followed by restoration,” she said. “What gives these projects legs fishermans wharf 39 Norwich Quay, Lyttelton 03 328 7530 fishermanswharf.nz Tuesday to Sunday Lunch and Dinner Saturday & Sunday Breakfast Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk and LeopardSeals.org research assistant Giverny Forbes said she believed the seal near Dunedin was almost fully grown and appeared to be in good condition. However, it had some scars on its back, and a few scratches and puncture wounds, which could be signs of a recent encounter with a leopard seal at sea. Crabeaters form an important part of the diet of leopard seals and the pups are frequently eaten. Ms Forbes said its name was a misnomer and the seals do not eat crabs. ‘’They’re called crabeater seals but they’re actually very specialised in hunting krill, they can sieve krill through their teeth.’’ It is critical people do not disturb the seals and maintain a safe distance away from them of at least 20m. Peninsula’s environmental projects get $90,000 helping hand is that they are all partnership projects – so our funding from immediate steps is just a part of the overall investment.” The water zone committee is made up of community members, runanga representatives and councillors from the city council and ECan.
