Pukekohe Plunket Rooms

 


Plunket is a big inconic name here in New Zealand. The Royal Plunket Trust has provided a range of free services for improving development and health of babies and children under the age of 5 for literally years. It became more of a popular organization in the 1950s, hence the style of this building. Babies and children were weight and had their height measured, in fact my 3 children were Plunket babies too. The organization is still going today. This building is in Pukekohe, I thought the roses were beautiful so I snapped a photo of it as we drove past.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's signs.

Thank you for sharing your lovely experience with Plunket! It’s heartwarming to hear about such an iconic organization in New Zealand that has been dedicated to the health and development of babies and children for so many years. The fact that your three children were Plunket babies too adds a personal touch to the story.

My Mum used to be a volunteer for Plunket - organizing the car seats for babies and children; a sort of swap scheme for families that couldnt afford them when they became legal requirement in cars here.
