Documented on the Tumblr Little Hands, the (presumably Kiwi) creator(s) say:

In upcoming weeks a series of little bronze hands will be installed in central Wellington. In walkways, shortcuts and places people pass on their paths to work or school. Their purpose is to hold offerings. Anonymous tokens of generosity or thoughtfulness. My intention is that others will use the little hands too, for leaving small items.

Mmf.

Belgrade, Serbia, last night.

I thought you would be interested in knowing last night at the European University Debating Championships in Belgrade 7 Irish teams made it to the quarter finals. As things go that is pretty phenomenal; out of 16 teams in this morning’s quarter finals 7 of those teams were Irish! 3 teams from Trinity College, 3 teams from UCD and a team from UCC. This morning they debated the motion That This House Believes that the Serbian Republic should secede from Bosnia and Herzegovina and this the line-up for the semi final:
ULU B and Oxford A
Cambridge A and TCD Hist B
UCD L&H A and TCD Hist A
Cambridge C and BPP A
Two Trinity Teams and a UCD team through to the Semi Final of the competition which is currently taking place [started at 4pm Irish time] and can be viewed online here
