HEALTHY PACIFIC FUTURES THROUGH COMMUNITY<br />
PARTNERSHIP<br />

Taloha Ni and Warm Pacific Greetings<br />
CMDHB’s vision is to work in partnership with our communities to<br />
improve the health status of all, with particular emphasis on Maori,<br />
Pacific peoples and other communities with health disparities.<br />
LotuMoui is a flagship programme for CMDHB in working towards<br />
achieving this vision. <strong>We</strong> acknowledge the importance of spiritual<br />
health in Pacific people’s worldview. The strong links between physical,<br />
mental, spiritual and socio-economic wellbeing is part of life for Pacific<br />
people but is increasingly being supported by health research and<br />
evidence.<br />
<strong>We</strong> believe good health and wellbeing is a key to prosperity for Pacific people. By continuing to<br />
improve our responsiveness and your access to health services, we believe our community’s aspirations<br />
to fulfil their potential through good health and wellbeing can be achieved. Your contribution through<br />
LotuMoui helps us by providing us with a way of communicating and sharing information on what we<br />
do. <strong>What</strong> is also important for us at CMDHB is how we work with the collective power of Pacific peoples.<br />
<strong>We</strong> challenge you to use this collective power to make change happen for the benefit of our future<br />
generations of Pacific people in this District.<br />
I welcome and wish you well on this second LotuMoui Symposium. The strong response we received<br />
from Pacific communities two years ago, when we launched LotuMoui, told us that you were ready to<br />
make health a priority.<br />
This year we look forward to sharing with you visions of what healthy futures can look like for Pacific<br />
communities. More importantly, we hope this Symposium will arm LotuMoui and the wider Pacific<br />
church community with the tools necessary to turn those plans into action.<br />
I wish you well in your Symposium and thank you for your support of CMDHB’s work.<br />

Greetings from the Pacific Health Advisory<br />
Committee (PHAC)<br />
HEALTHY FUTURES THE PACIFIC WAY<br />
<strong>We</strong> have been an important part of the South Auckland community for<br />
more than three decades since the early settlement of our people in<br />
the 1960s – 1970s. <strong>We</strong> once enjoyed good health, full employment and<br />
active participation in our wider communities. Although the poor socioeconomic<br />
status of our communities is what we are known for in the<br />
wider world, this Symposium is about sharing among ourselves – not only<br />
a bright and exciting healthy vision of our future – but also how we work<br />
together to achieve that vision.<br />
<strong>We</strong> encourage you to take these two days out and dream with us a<br />
future where our children fulfil their potential, young people continue to<br />
achieve and strive for the best, our families support each other and our<br />
community provides a safe, protective and healthy environment to<br />
nurture our future talent.<br />
Our first LotuMoui Symposium demonstrated how important our health and wellbeing are to Pacific<br />
communities and established a partnership for the DHB and Pacific communities to work together. This<br />
second Symposium is about how we go from strength to strength and build on that partnership and<br />
turn our visions into action – we will do this the Pacific way.<br />
<strong>What</strong> is the Pacific way? <strong>We</strong> will do this together – there is collective power in our family, church, friends<br />
and ethnic groupings. <strong>We</strong> will grow a healthy future for all of us together. <strong>We</strong> will also do this with<br />
respect and acknowledgement of our history as a migrant community. <strong>We</strong> will see our cultural roots as<br />
an important part of our strength and foundation to look and move us forward.<br />
The Pacific Health Advisory Committee wishes the Pacific community well for our work at the<br />
Symposium and, importantly, looks forward to working together to create healthier futures for all of us.<br />

HEALTHY FUTURES FOR PACIFIC PEOPLES<br />
On behalf of the CMDHB, welcome to our second LotuMoui Symposium!<br />
<strong>We</strong> are pleased to be able to bring to you an exciting and inspirational<br />
line up of keynote speakers and workshop themes. <strong>We</strong> are especially<br />
pleased to bring to you a focus on young people through a stream of<br />
workshops that will run parallel to the main Symposium.<br />
LotuMoui is an important programme to help us realise the vision of<br />
Healthy Futures for all our communities – in particular, Pacific people<br />
living in our District. LotuMoui looks forward to the next phase of<br />
expansion where, as part of our strategic objectives, we aim to:<br />
• Increase the number of churches involved in LotuMoui from 50 to 80<br />
within the next 3 years; and<br />
• Implement the LotuMoui Operational Plan that contains important objectives about improving the<br />
lifestyles and health of Pacific people.<br />
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the many people who helped us put this programme together<br />
and in particular our Minister Steering Committee:<br />
• Reverend Setaita Veikune<br />
• Pastor Paora Teaukura<br />
• Reverend William Hakaoro<br />
• Pastor Tiatia Peseta<br />

I wish you well for your work at the Symposium and look forward to the visions and sharing that will<br />
emerge.<br />

Every day for the people of <strong>Counties</strong> <strong>Manukau</strong><br />
6 people die<br />
1 of the 6 deaths is tobacco-related<br />

Symposium Themes<br />
The branding of the Symposium has been “LotuMoui, Mind, Body, Spirit”.‘Lotu’ means Church or Prayer<br />
in most Pacific languages, while ‘Moui’ is a Tongan and Niuean phrase which means good health that<br />
encompasses mind, body and soul.<br />
The words ‘mind, body, spirit’ relate to a holistic and all inclusive approach to health, which does not<br />
separate the emotional, physical, mental or spiritual aspects of wellness.<br />
Key theme for the Symposium:<br />
Healthier Lifestyles: Preparing for the next generation of Pacific peoples<br />
<strong>We</strong> <strong>Reap</strong> <strong>What</strong> <strong>We</strong> <strong>Sow</strong> Galatians 6:8<br />
Founding Scripture<br />
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” 3 John 1:2<br />
LotuMoui Vision<br />
A vision of prosperity: ‘to have a good safe journey’ that holistically encompasses physical health,<br />
material wealth, emotional security, spiritual wholeness and the wellbeing of families and the<br />
community.<br />
