Signs of online gambling harm include struggling to take breaks, spending more money than you can afford, chasing losses and putting less time into family and culture..

Te Kanava is a native tree (Cordia Subcordata) that flourishes in the forest of Togaleleva, Tokelau. The roots are well grounded and widely spread anchoring this mighty tree and ensuring a solid foundation. The durability of the timber can withstand the toughest elements, therefore the preferred wood for making traditional canoes, homes, and crafts. The branches of the Kanava tree are a safe haven for birds to nest, during stormy weather and a resting place during migration season.” (Lehi Tenise Atoni, Chairman of the Atafu Tokelau Community Group, Porirua).
