Donate Summer pyjamas - Foster Hope
Tawa Rotary is asking your help to donate new summer pyjamas for children (age 0-18 years) in foster care in the Wellington region - through #fosterhopenz
There are over 5,000 children in foster care in NZ, and they usually arrive at foster care with only the clothes they are currently wearing. Many of these children have never had a brand new pair of their own pyjamas. Knowing that someone has shopped especially for them is a huge boost to their self-esteem.
$10 is all it costs for a new pair of child's pyjamas. Help us help Foster Hope by dropping off a pair at our collection point at #newworldtawa.
Thankyou Tawa!
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)
.
