British crossover tenor performing Christchurch Earthquake fundraiser with NZSO and Elizabeth Marvelly this weekend.
Sarah Lockey is a New Zealander in London who is organising a fundraiser for Canterbury earthquake victims.
This weekend the Kiwi Club of New York is having a big fundraiser to benefit the Christchurch Earthquake appeal.
The government is crowdsourcing the cyclone recovery bill. It has launched an international fundraising effort, modelled on the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal - which raised almost $100 million. A separate special Lotto draw will also be held on March 18 with all proceeds going to affected communities. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has urged New Zealanders to get behind the effort. He defended asking people to chip in when the cost-of-living is so high.
The All Blacks coach Graham Henry says he'd have wanted another test before the Tri-Nations, even if the New Zealand Rugby Union hadn't organised the Christchurch earthquake fundraiser match.
