Al Noor Mosque Imam Gamal Fouda said the foundation had played a “crucial” role in helping the Muslim community recover from last year’s attacks. Former city councillor Raf Manji played a leading role in the foundation’s response to the attacks, spearheading its engagement with the Muslim community over a three month period which shaped its distribution model. More recently, the foundation has worked alongside Meridian energy in moving towards creating a tui corridor throughout Christchurch. A corridor of tui tucker plants, a tui favourite, will be planted across Christchurch to encourage the bird back into the city. Carter said Meridian Energy came to the foundation wanting to contribute to the environmental aspect of the city, so she came up with the idea of a tui corridor. “That was my idea, I pitched it to them [Meridian], they went yeah, we would love to do it so we planted 3000 trees on city council MILLERS GRAND TREE-MENDOUS: In collaboration with the Christchurch Foundation and Sustainable Coastlines, Meridian Energy hosted its first planting day last week at the Christchurch Adventure Park as it looks to create a Tui corridor through the city. land on Friday [last week].” This is an example of the foundation’s “project funding” approach. The second approach it employs in facilitating acts of philanthropy in the city is a strategy Carter labelled as “pass-through giving.” “Like the gift to Turanga, we bring the money in and pass it straight on to the beneficiary of the donor’s choice. We have also done that for other things in the city like SCAPE [public art] and the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.” The third approach is endowment funding. This involves donors giving capital to the charity which it then invests and distributes the profits of to the donor’s cause of choice. This multi-faceted approach from the charity has caught the eye of Susan Dolton, who will be studying the charity as part of a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellowship grant into the research of strategies in disaster grant-making.

Wednesday October 7 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 7 News Positive music album proving popular • By Bea Gooding MICHAL BUSH has always had a passion for connecting with children through the world of music. The mother of three has now become a hit on YouTube, with her song Kindness is Free, stacking up more than 40,000 views. The positive song, which came out in 2019, helped Michal Bush her and other parents talk to their children about the March 15 mosque attacks and the importance of kindness. To help families take a break from the “overwhelming” anxieties of the world during Covid-19, Bush created Can You Make Music? – a new, 15-track children’s music album with an overarching theme of well-being. Bush said the album was recorded during the lockdown and took three to four months to complete, with the help of a funding grant from Creative New Zealand. “Music is an incredible tool for heavy issues. I think the world is so overwhelming, and as a parent and teacher, it’s a heavy POPULAR: Michal Bush’s new children’s music album, Can You Make Music?, helps kids deal with tough issues in the wake of Covid-19 through music.

She started focusing on children’s music for the last eight years following the birth of her daughter. Ever since, she has performed in numerous early childhood centres, pre-schools, trusts and online to develop children’s interest in singing and rhythm with her Music with Michal Club. “It’s [music] so much a part of who I am, how I process the world, how I get my thoughts out and how I connect with other people,” she said. “I’m so drawn to children’s music because I love the wonder and awe of it, it’s the best job ever. Children are such a wonderful audience, they come with so much joy.” Her songs have been used as a resource by teachers and parents across the country. Her children were a “big” part of the process having heard the album through its different stages of completion and also sang in a few songs. Said Bush: “Thanks to the grant from Creative NZ, I was able to hire my friends who are amazing producers to help produce the album, which we made from our own homes. It was a very cool process. “The album brings joy and connection between parent and child, which celebrates the childlike point of view of the world, sparks creativity in children and helps parents feel like kids again.” •The Can You Make Music? album was released last month and can be found at https:// musicwithmichal.com/canyou-make-music/ UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT JOIN US NOW!
