HEALTHY PACIFIC FUTURES THROUGH COMMUNITY<br />

PARTNERSHIP<br />

Kia Ora, Talofa Lava, Kia Orana, Malo e Lelei, Fakaalofa Lahi Atu,<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 />

Mr Pat Snedden<br />

Chair, <strong>Counties</strong> <strong>Manukau</strong> District Health Board


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 />

• Reverend Mosese Ueleni<br />

• Reverend Maua Sola<br />

• Reverend Uea Tuleia<br />

• Nikau Mii<br />

• Danelle Maunsell<br />

<strong>We</strong> would not have been able to put together such an exciting programme were it not for your ideas,<br />

time and effort to make this a success.<br />

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

emerge.<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 />
