Nappies, knickers, socks and shampoo

Ian Munro from Rotary Club of Tawa Inc.

Almost 300 nappies and dozens of knickers, socks and shampoos were handed over to Foster Hope at Tawa ITM this week by Tawa Rotary President Denise Garcia (right) and Secretary Elizabeth Sutton (left). These were some of the items purchased with money raised at a recent theatre event and the Tawa Rotary Business Breakfast.
Mary Howarth (centre), representing Foster Hope, said the organisation was extremely grateful for these much-needed items. They would go into the backpacks of essentials for children going into foster care.
Currently, Foster Hope is keen to replenish its stocks of coloured pencils, tampons, bibs, face cloths, shampoo and conditioner, face wash and nappy rash cream. If you’re able to help out with any of these, please drop them off at Tawa Rotary’s collection point at ITM on Main Rd.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
