Keas visit the Kapiti Community Foodbank
A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME
The Raumati Scouts (Keas section) visited the Kapiti Community Foodbank this week. Keas Leader, Raquel Barros, brought in 8 Keas (aged 5-8yrs) who put away food they had donated and packed food parcels.
The children really enjoyed the hands-on visit to the Foodbank. They have visited several community services throughout the year, including the Police and Fire Station.
The visit to the Foodbank was aimed at educating the children about the needs of others in their community and how their donations will help many other families in the future.

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)
