Dear Neighbourly...love from the Kapi-Mana News.
This week we met Joan and Lynda, penpals who recently met for the first time in their 53 year correspondence.
The friends got me thinking...I had a penpal from Africa when I was a child and it made me wonder if it's still a "thing" these days?
Did you have a penpal? Do you still have a penpal?
And does anyone else prefer to write letters than emails? Or are the days of letter writing long gone?
Let us know and remember the all important NFP if you don't want your comment to be posted.
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.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
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.
