A page to give back to a kind, loving bean who has been bettering our communities for decades
Christchurch, Canterbury
For everyone who knows Benji, I surely don't need to explain, but for some who may not realise just how much this genuinely kind human gives to our community, I'll share a brief explanation.
Over the last two decades I've witnessed Benji share their creativity with many communities in an absolute plethora of ways. They've written books, poems, songs & music, they've taught workshops & lessons in guitar, song writing, poetry & poi spinning. They've spent hundreds of hours & thousands of dollars designing games & worlds for countless friends to enjoy. They've provided sound, kind & helpful support and advice through difficult times for many, even when going through the worst time themselves - Benji is often low on spoons for themselves because they're always saving them to give to the people they love.
They've entertained us, provoked our thoughts & emotions, and left us in tears of laughter, and deeper feelings. This is all just the tip of the iceberg for how kind & giving Benji is. Even when times have been hard Benji has still beamed creativity and magic into our communities. A true gem.
Recently, life has thrown a bunch of spiky lemons & hurdles at them, in the form of thousands of dollars worth of mechanical issues to a vehicle which is also their home, accompanied by the stress of big health scares, heartache & grief. It's time we showered them in support and love to help them get back on the road (literally & figuratively) to creating amazing magic with our communities
I've had the pleasure of being friends with Benji for almost two decades
