Refugee Support Volunteer Training - September

Service Centre Coordinator from Red Cross - Waikato Service Centre

Hello neighbours,
We are just left with two more intakes for this year. So, again here is another opportunity to help out in our community and to become a Refugee Support Volunteer (RSV) with the Red Cross. RSVs are placed in teams to assist newly arrived refugees during their first 3-6 months in Hamilton. The support is very practical: setting up a house, showing the new arrivals around Hamilton, assisting them with doctors, schools, grocery shopping etc... A free training course starts on Thursday 31st August (ONLY evening sessions). Contact: Shally Arora; phone: 07 960 7285 email: shally.arora@redcross.org.nz;

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.

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.

What do you think about this car park's condition?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Tokoroa local says the car park at Tokoroa Hospital is a “third world” shambles and is not a good look for the town’s public medical centre.

Olaf Langhenkel said the state of the car park, which is riddled with potholes and past attempts at repair, had been deteriorating for around five years and nothing had been done about it.

What do you think about this car park's condition? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
