Thank you Microsoft!
A huge thank you to the good folk at Microsoft for supporting our grassroots charity, Cheekee Hero.
Founded with a vision to CONNECT - AMPLIFY - CREATE CHANGE, Cheekee Hero represents unheard voices through storytelling, digital art, creative technology, and combining the collective power of all charities and organisations that represent persons with disabilities and illnesses.
We're powered by a fun digital super robot named Cheekee who helps children realise that their disability or illness can change the world for good, in turn Cheekee is made stronger through the kindness, resilience, and joy of all children and can only be seen by those who exhibit these values.
Come with Cheekee and let's make CHANGE funner!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
