FREE ACCOMMODATION

Jane from Strowan

Hi I am Jane. I am a mature woman, working as a relief teacher in the Christchurch area. I am very passionate about preserving nature, the environment and humanity. I bring that into my teaching.

My goal is to bring peace and harmony into children’s lives.

In recent years I have started writing. This is now my main purpose. I have many speeches, a book to lift depression, a book Through the eyes of a Carer that I wrote when I worked as a carer in Australia, I have a blog ready to launch for youth, to boost self love, worth and esteem. When you feel good about yourself, you will not contemplate suicide. I have over 100
Cool Ramblings, writings that are hilariously alive, stimulating, extremely real, and even funny.

All of this, sadly, just sitting, waiting, to be delivered, waiting to be discovered!

For this to happen, I need capital, money. I have been house sitting, caring etc around Christchurch to save the $$$ towards my writing. Alas, my life gets very filled up and my writing gets hidden.

That is why I am asking for FREE ACCOMMODATION so I can concentrate on getting a website, marketing, publishing etc so I can get this precious work out to our youth.

Whenever I hear of a suicide, I cringe – “My work could have helped that person!”

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
