AFS Intercultural Programmes and Go Kiwi Go

Hi Neighbours, summer’s coming and you’re probably thinking about taking a holiday break, or just break up the day to day routine! Go Kiwi Go offers amazing volunteer, gap and holiday experiences. From working with orphans in Nepal, to diving in Mexico; working with the elephants in Thailand, refugees in Greece, to big cats in Africa, we have projects that are really making a difference.

Anyone over 18 can do a project with Go Kiwi Go, our oldest participant so far has been 75! But don’t take our word for it, check out our blog page!

“I would recommend to anyone if you want to make a difference to sign up and do some volunteer work with Go Kiwi Go, you will not regret it!” Jasper from Wellington in Nepal.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

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.
