***BREAKFAST DONATIONS***

Maggie from Bayview

Hi Neighbours! 👋
My name is Maggie and I started a small charity - The Sharing Hope Project (sharinghopeproject.com)that aims to bring hope to vulnerable communities by encouraging acts of kindness! 💛
We run several drives a year - starting out with a focus on children as they go back to school!
Now, we are looking for breakfasts - canned fruits, porridge, UHT milk, cereals and canned beans, canned spaghetti.
We're all about a stronger, tangible and transparent way of charity. All proceeds to a community house that we work with in South Auckland, supplying food parcels to families.
Message me if you can help, I'd love to hear from you!

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?
