The Pacific Business Hub
Our family at the Pacific Kids' Learning Digital Showcase at Hoyts Cinemas Sylvia Park 🎥🍿🎞️
Thursday July 18th's showcase was the official launch of 35 specially curated digital stories plus 30 Pacific animated songs, demonstrating to our communities the exciting opportunities that the digital space provides to keep our histories, languages and cultures thriving into the future. A beautiful selection of 2D and 3D children's animations was woven together into a multilingual film, telling our Pasifika stories on the big screen. The collection showcased was co-created by PKL alongside local students, teachers, parents, community knowledge holders, elders and digital creatives.
Congratulations Evo Leota, Theresa Tupuola-Sorenson & Tatiana Marich and their amazing team of animators Elizabeth Kumaran (Liz), Herman Aviu, Carmel Adam, Tom Greentree for yet another job well done for the year and an awesome and successful showcase 👏🏽🙌🏽🎉
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
