    Trust which provides services in the health, social, cultural and economic welfare, education and vocational
    training. It implements Maori Cultural Diplomacy International Program aimed to help establish and/or maintain a

   The President/Founder of Wahine Maori of Queensland Inc., Gold Coast to promote understanding of universal
    values in spiritual traditions and arts of movable cultural heritage with intrinsic values and applying these concepts
    in cross cultural diversity using the metaphor of the rainbow as a way of understanding. Emphasis is on the role of
    cross-cultural liaisons and mediation, and that these processes need to be integral components of humanitarian aid
    and help to alleviate poverty and create sustainable programs in health, education, housing, film and television.

   Ambassador for Peace with the Universal Peace Federation an NGO in Special Consultative Status with the
    Economic and Social Council of the United Nations which supports and promote the work of the United Nations
    and the achievement of the Millennium Development goals. My role is part of a global network of leaders of every
    religious and cultural background who have distinguished us in service to our communities. We support the
    Universal Peace Federation’s vision of promoting reconciliation, overcoming barriers and building peace, nations
    and the world through interreligious cooperation and service. We also recognize the effectiveness of the Universal
    Peace Federation’s unique work to solve the world’s most pressing problems including national and regional
    conflicts and the breakdown of the family.

   Woman for World Peace Award – 2008: The Women’s Federation for World Peace International is a non profit
    non government international organization in the General Consultative Status of ECOSOC and in association with
    United Nations Department of Public Information. The Award covers the whole of the Oceania Region.

   World Peace Speaker – invitations from the following Nations:-
       Switzerland, South Korea, Guatemala, Argentina, Mexico, Nigeria, Bangalore India, Salt Lake City,
       Chicago, Melbourne, Sydney, New Zealand, Philippines, Las Vegas, Thailand, New York and Mongolia.

   The Chief Executive Officer of Wahine Humanitarian Foundation, with its own humanitarian global
    program, a non profit international organization which helps third world countries, and its reasons and driving
    motivation is due to ageing populations and the widening of affordability gap between the rich and the poor,
    there is now an increasing demand for services.

   International Executive Cultural Advisor for an International Movie Humanity Advisory Board, a bold
    timely and practical leadership initiative which includes in the 14 episodes documentary the following:-
        ^       Ending Hunger
        ^       Safe and Healthy Children
        ^       World Health Problems & Solutions
        ^       No more Epidemics
        ^       The end of Homelessness
        ^       Human rights & Refugees
        ^       War: Causes, Consequences & Cures
        ^       Terrorism’s Realistic Alternatives
        ^       Indigenous People
        ^       Literacy and Foundational Education
        ^       Vocational and Higher Education
       Executive Producer/Script Writer/Cultural Advisor to create an epic movie on the ‘Takitimu’ (working
            title) of the great migration from the narrow neck of land between North and South America throughout the
            South Pacific Isles and landing at Aotearoa (The Land of the Long White Cloud). Polynesians raised before
            the 1950’s were generally well taught the culture, heritage, history, dances, traditions, arts, music, crafts,
            language, genealogies and legends of their ancestors and people. However, the second half of the 20 th century
            brought radio, television, movies, the internet and other media and sports to the islands, which occupied and
            influenced the minds and hearts of Polynesian Youth, just as such things have done to people all over the
            world. As a result, many of the younger generation have not received, understood, assimilated, or take the
            time away from these entertainment’s to fully absorb their cultural heritage into their lives.

            As a result, most knowledge of Polynesian culture and heritage is bound in the lives, memories, experiences
            and knowledge of the older generations. These people alive now constitute a living history and living archive
            of the Polynesian people and culture. These people constitute a treasure of first-hand knowledge. But this
            generation is quickly passing because most of the individuals in this living legacy are age 70 to 100 now. As
            this generation passes on, their knowledge and skills and understanding pass out of our grasp, never to be
            regained

           Pacific Indigenous Multicultural Museum – 1st Series Maori Ances Tar is a technology concept that involves
            using 3D Laser Scanning Technology to scan Maori carvings within Maori Marae(s) (traditional meeting
            buildings) and then displaying those carvings electronically on panels to allow a virtual representation of them
            at another location. The key objective of this venture is discover and develop the technology necessary to
            achieve this virtual representation so that it can be developed. There are many notable and famous
            Stakeholders who expressed interest; this will be co-ordinated through Wahine Maori of Queensland Inc.
