Right now I'm at a fundraising event for Architecture for Humanity. Only it's no regular event because I'm watching the charity concert with nearly a thousand people all over New Zealand and possibly the world. Imogen Heap has spontaneously come over to Christchurch to help with raising funds.
700 people have packed the live venue in Christchurch. A great turnout watches the livestream event at the University of Auckland several hundred kilometres away. In various other places, nearly 200 feed into the livestream, capturing the efforts of the event, enjoying the music and supporting the cause of rebuilding Christchurch. And there are snacks (at least in Auckland which I helped organise).
What an amazing thing it is to have this made into a grassroots national movement.
