Hannah Kidd/ Scape/ Avonside Drive

This is what keeps coming up for me when I think about how people helped each other through the Christchurch earthquakes. Help came in all shapes and sizes and not always heroic or dramatic gestures - more domestic. A city in flux needs consistency and this is what helps people feel normal: by going to work, to school, keeping the garden, exercising- ‘Shared Strengths;’ not just helping in the immediate aftermath of the quakes, but the things that were done in the weeks and months following, and things that are still being done”
