Rebuilding a Modern City

Remember that when these pages were first written, they dated from a specific time; that is, in the couple of years following the worst of the major earthquakes.  We are moving on and the rebuild continues.

In our Post-Earthquake chaos, we will all need to help rebuild Christchurch. Below, first in the list, is a selection of websites that may offer ways in which you can help us, through donations, ideas, moral support, coming to see us and practical help. If you know of other sites that might be included here, I would be glad to hear of them.
