Sharing The Aroha Rotorua NZ (facebook)
My friends and I saw an oversea’s page about making small patchwork hearts and sending out the love to people who find them. We all need to feel loved and what a wonderful way to share it around. These lovely patchwork hearts will be placed around the community for people to find who needs to feel the love. Each and everyone is loved and sometimes we need a reminder of this. So keep a look out in the community and maybe these hearts will travel around NZ or oversea’s, it doesn’t matter so long as the love is being shared out there and it will make someone’s day a little happier. Let us know if you have found one and where the little heart is going weather it stays in Rotorua or travels. Sharing the love one heart at a time, remember you are all loved. Mental Health is real XOX If you find one you can keep it or rehide and see how far the love will go.
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)
.
