Friends of Wi Tako

For some time now Youthline has been running fortnightly visits to Wi Tako Prison, but as the organisation alone hasn't the numbers to provide enough regular visitors, it is now looking for other folkses willing to fill the ranks.

These visits consist of names, chin hat, and a cuppa tea (and bikkis if you bring them!) and there is no emphasis on counselling - you're there as a friend, not as a pathologist or social worker, so we want all you scientists, accountants, mathematicians el al just as much as the social scientists and arty types!

Although things are reasonably relaxed out there (for a prison!) there are obviously a few rules and conditions which must be adhered to for these visits, i.e. no funny cigarettes, pills, knives, guns, etc. pleas! It's for the guys" good in the long run.

The next visit will be on Friday April 18, so come along! If you're interested, ring Russell, tawa H8538 or Robin 768-727.
