Christchurch shootings

The National Association of Women in Construction NZ embraces our Muslim members and supporters with all the warmth and compassion our Association represents.

As we crawl past the religious and racial divides that are finally being acknowledged in our country, we hope everyone is finding the warmth and support New Zealand is better known for.

As with the Japanese custom of kintsugi, we hope to be eventually able to repair what has been broken with something precious. When everything has been put back together again, may the repairs help make our country even more beautiful, never forgetting such a harsh lesson.

What happened in Christchurch last week is something we hope never to see on our shores again.
