$5 Glass Collection / Fundraiser

Naomi from Matua

Hi Matua neighbourhood :) I'm fundraising for a trip in June to PNG to help out on a medical ship that administers to remote coastal towns in Papua New Guinea. I'm on the team that educates and makes the 1000s of people waiting to be seen comfortable.

If you're interested in helping me fundraise and also interested in recycling glass then would you let me know? I'm offering a $5 weekly glass pick on Friday 11th, 18th, 25th May & 1st June.

If you want to do this THANK YOU!!!! It will make so much of a difference and means a lot to me and the people we'll help in PNG.
Let me know on 0226410695 with your address and dates you want collection.

Naomi Cowland 02-0404-0010483-35 is the account you can pay into for the collection and if you could reference your address that would be great.

Collect your glass in whatever bin, bucket or box you have (no bigger then about a banana box size please), put it out on the roadside on Thursday before 4pm and I'll collect the glass, sort and recycle it after work :)

🇵🇬👍

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.
