Meeting and making friends with New Zealanders through organised social events
  • Nelson Polytechnic, Nelson

    Dear Students and Friends,

    Hi there,

    I am writing to let you know about our next Operation Friendship Event.  It is on this Saturday.  See all the details below.

    Don’t forget to txt, or e-mail me if you want to come.

    I hope you are all doing well.  Here in Nelson the spring time is starting to come.  The farm we are going to visit has some little lambs, and we can feed the sheep with bread!!!!

    If it is raining we will still go because the farmer has a warm house where we can play fun games and keep dry.

    If you are not in Nelson, I am sorry you can’t come.  I hope you have a good day whatever you are doing!!!!  Come back to Nelson again to visit us.  We miss you!!!

    Kind Regards from
    Jonathan and the team at Operation Friendship.
