COES FORD CLEAN UP
On Friday the 26th February, the Student Volunteer Army hosted their first ever event under the new Lincoln Branch of the organisation, with a clean-up event at Coes Ford. The idea came about through working with the Selwyn District Council, who have identified Coes and Chamberlains Ford as being areas of opportunity in the Selwyn Community.
WOOD WHITTLING
Twenty two students turned up for an hour of weeding, picking up rubbish and a few sausages on the BBQ. It was a great chance for Lincoln Students to connect with their fellow peers who also enjoy volunteering and feel like they are making a difference in their community. A few members of the public who were camping at the Ford seemed to appreciate the effort the club members put in and were more than happy to lend a hand and also having a good chat while the volunteering took place. If this sounds like fun and you want to get involved, download the SVA app from the Apple App Store or Google Play and sign up to the Lincoln University Club!
G’day beautiful people, my name is Erin and I would like to talk about a hobby I got into over the past two years - Wood Whittling. For the people who know me, I can already visualise them laughing by the time I call myself arty! But being creative is something I’m always up for. In saying that, I have been exploring the area where I can use up my creativity and create ‘big hairy audacious goals’. (thanks Llyod for sharing this exquisite terminology). A handful of spoons and spatulas have been made along the way, but 99% of them ended up in the wood burner. My only keeper to date is my silver birch ‘Baby Shark.’ It only took me three hours (a shit tonne of time) to make it, and I am not gonna use it making butter chicken as she is too pretty. Erin Cheng
