Looking for Pens

Ganga from Pukekohe

Hi neighbours, I am a trainer and some of the people I work with come from difficult backgrounds. I provide worksheets for the training participants and offer pens to those who need it. While the expectation is for the participants to use the pen during the session and then return it to me, a good number gets taken away each time. I generally give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they have taken it because they really need it. Well, I'm hoping to collect some unused pens from all of you which I can then use for the training sessions and avoid taking on the financial burden of supplying fresh pens all the time. Thanks in advance, folks.

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)
.
