Reduced funding and consequent budget difficulties have required us to cut deeply into our organisational aspirations. Fortunately, the funding we receive from Government allows us to continue promoting our Cool Schools, Parent, and Māori programmes. However, we have not been able to raise sufficient funding to continue supporting the excellent and most pertinent contributions being made by Alyn Ware on the international stage in the struggle against the evils of the nuclear arms race. The Peace Foundations initial purpose was to confront the nuclear arms race and so we are deeply regretful for our inability to meet our

We hope Alyn will continue to be our International Representative whenever this is possible for him. This disappointment continues our inability to contribute to the significant struggles, also on the international stage, of Kate Dewes and Rob Green. If any one reading this piece knows of ways we might be able to reinstate funding in these directions please contact us. The Council and officers met to develop a strategic plan for the future development of the organisation. This was ably chaired by our Council colleague, Dale Hunter. A series of significant goals were decided upon with members allocated to follow though with the development. The areas covered include: harnessing the customer base locally and internationally; establishing a “Youth Ambassador Network”; building the membership base; addressing the social, survival and social justice needs within schools and communities; and building local and international networks and partnerships.

intellectually capable mind of the twentieth century. But this great scientist said the following: “ It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” “Everything has changed but our way of thinking and thus we drift towards unparalleled catastrophe.” “The end of our quest for perfection could mean the perfect end of all our quests.” Strangely, humanity does not listen. And today, the list of serious challenges threatening our future far surpasses the concerns of Einstein. The Peace Foundation has elected primarily to focus on violence within our society as with our seminal Cool Schools Peer Mediation and Peaceful Conflict Resolution Programme. Also, we retain a deep concern about the nuclear arms race which motivated the founders in the 1970s. In some countries, such as the USA and Russia, the numbers of nuclear warheads are decreasing. In fact, the USA has bought the nuclear materials from Russian nuclear warheads for their nuclear power stations. But scientific advances mean the weapons of mass destruction are increasingly dangerous. There are more countries in possession of far more effective nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. Leaders promote the thermonuclear arsenal costing billions with the pretense of making us secure. But with this powerful new technology and other means of mass destruction we have greater insecurity - if not the promise of oblivion. For example, a small satchel containing thousands of lethal bio-organisms the size of mosquitoes could inflict incredible destruction. And, the arsenal’s driving logic is to continue ratcheting itself up yet another notch to preserve our perilous place ahead of the “game”. During the Industrial Revolution machines replaced muscles. Now with the Cybernetic revolution, machines are replacing our brains. In the language of the “new hyper-human economy” we are “off-peopling” with “smart machines”.

Message from the Director CAROLINE ONGLEO
It is my pleasure to share with you strategic goals our council and staff have developed to consider the future of The Peace Foundation. Each goal is led by a council member and staff who have been fully engaged in carrying out actions towards these goals. We thank Dale Hunter, facilitator of our Strategic Planning last December 2011 for helping us outline a positive path for the Foundation’s future. Harnessing our customer and membership base We are developing a web-based infrastructure to capture the profile of our school and community beneficiaries, and members. We are currently testing the new Putunga and Grubba – free web-based database created by our volunteer IT support – Chris Esther and Ryan Elizondo who have both moved on to pursue full time work. Our aim is to have a usable, flexible, reliable and connected (schools, training participants, members, organizations) contacts database. However, we need regular IT support to make continuous improvements in the database design, and assistance in continuously updating the database so we can use this facility for our communication and marketing efforts. Yvonne Duncan and Ari Blair – intern from Auckland University of Technology have been in contact with old and current members to determine their specific interests and support to The Peace Foundation. The information will be useful in tapping member’s expertise to provide assistance to The Peace Foundation programmes and events. We are pleased to announce we have expanded our membership base to 130 primary schools as of August 2012. This new initiative supports the implementation of the Cool Schools Peer Mediation Programme in view of reduced funding, and will engage schools in actively promoting peace through effective implementation of the Programme, Schools’ Peace Week, and other peace initiatives of the Foundation. Our next target is to invite secondary
ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
schools and corporations to subscribe to the Foundation. We are committed in improving and developing new programmes to cater to the needs of our customer base. The new Conflict Resolution Programme kaupapa Māori is on its pilot stage (refer to the Kia Tau te Rangimarie report). The Peaceful Conflict Resolution Programme for secondary schools was strengthened to include more training resources as an offshoot of Christina Barruel’s professional development training in USA. Christina and Lisa Gibson have designed a new format on conflict resolution for intermediate schools. Andrea O’Hagan led the rewrite of the Peaceful Family Communication Course to include more skills session. An adult Conflict Resolution Programme is set to be designed and offered next year based on expressed demand from schools and corporations. We are also applying for funding support to upload our Cool Schools primary resources online, update our secondary school training resources, and develop training resources for our Māori Programme. Establishing a ‘Youth Peace Ambassador Network’ The aim of the network is to create youth volunteer base who will work on peace activities; and to create a youth mentoring programme by matching them with members’ expertise. Our immediate contact will be peer mediators who have graduated from intermediate and secondary schools to carry on their passion for peace. As part of the scoping for this project, we had a focus-group discussion with peer mediators at the Auckland Cool Schools Secondary Symposium last 17 August. This was led by Jonnie Black and Ari Blair (intern from AUT), with guidance from Lina Gonzales. Results of this will be helpful in determining the framework for the network. Meanwhile, youth contacts have been established through social media such as the Cool Schools and The Peace Foundation’s Facebook pages.
The Peace Foundation
Addressing social, survival and social justice needs within schools and communities We are fully engaged in reducing not only social inequalities in schools but also in the community. We have been busy in capacity building on violence prevention for vulnerable families through our Peaceful Family Communication Course especially in South Auckland where there is high incidence of violence at home and in the community. In the wider community, we have expressed our position on social issues to the Child Poverty Action Group, and International Campaign on Nuclear Abolition. Building local and international networks/partnerships We have collaborated with like-minded organisations in addressing school and community needs, and in promoting our programmes and events. In the international scene, we were tapped as one of the sponsors of the Shift Network (USA) “Youth Rising for Peace” telesummit (see Youth Report). This collaboration gave us free professional development opportunities such as Jonnie Black’s participation in their online course on Youth Peace Ambassador. We have links with the UN International Day of Peace NGO Committee. Peace Day TV, broadcaster for Peace Day has invited Aotearoa to open our 21 September global broadcast with a Mihi and Karaka. It will also feature clips of the Foundation’s programmes. The formal declaration of Auckland as a City for Peace by Mayor Len Brown has provided an excellent platform for The Peace Foundation to engage with the Auckland Council, The Depot, Local Boards and communities and with a range of organisations dedicated to peace. This type of outreach activity has seen the establishment of many new links and exciting connections for the Foundation, and has created significant public awareness around the 25th anniversary of our nuclear-free status, and around our peace-building and peaceful conflict resolution initiatives more generally. We have worked together with local NGOs such as Mental Health Foundation in the establishment of the Pink Shirt Day (Anti-Bullying Day) 2012. The partnership enabled us to access “Working Together More Fund” to produce posters and other promotional materials for awareness raising on bullying in schools and corporations across New Zealand. The Peace Foundation
The White Ribbon Campaign in South Auckland is a conglomeration of NGOs working together to be part of a solution to end violence against women. Our exposure to this campaign led to further partnerships especially with the South Auckland Family Violence Prevention Network and also paved way to the nomination and acceptance of Jonnie Black as White Ribbon Ambassador. Closer engagement with local communities led to the offering of our parent course to a group of 20 Somalian refugees in Puketapapa, and engagement with the Roskill Community Network, to name a few. These collaborations helped increased our profile and capacity for sustainability. The following programme reports give you further highlights on our accomplishments for 2011-2012. I thank the committed Peace Foundation Council who graciously volunteer their time and energies in steering the organisation. My utmost gratitude to Claire Speedy, interim director who provided superb leadership during my maternity leave. Thanks to the dedicated and dynamic staff team – Marcus Zhao, Christina Barruel, Jonnie Black, Merran Spath and Lisa Gibson, and all other contract trainers around New Zealand. My appreciation to Alyn Ware for generously offering his time and expertise on disarmament as international representative. We are indebted to The Peace Foundation members for their support to our important work in promoting peaceful relationships at all levels from personal to global. We look forward to your continued participation in helping us act on our mission. n

Disarmament Report ROD ALLEY, COUNCIL MEMBER
This report begins appropriately by
acknowledging the many years of service performed in the cause of disarmament, on behalf of the Foundation, by Alyn Ware who has recently taken up a permanent position in Switzerland. Alyn has served the Foundation in his capacity as its international representative on disarmament with considerable distinction and, to the extent that he can continue to do so, we welcome his stated willingness to continue in this role. Accordingly I support confirmation of that role by this AGM. Acknowledgement is also due to Richard Northey’s thorough and conscientious convening of the Disarmament Committee meetings held on average four times a year by telephone connection. Most of the agenda items covered involve reporting back and a provision of prior notice across a wide variety of disarmament activities, this last year being no exception. Here a selective range of issues reported has included nuclear disarmament activities and conferences national and international; the Arms Trade Treaty negotiations; concerns expressed to the New Zealand government over the disestablishment of the Ministerial position on disarmament; activities surrounding the anniversary of 25 years of New Zealand nuclear free; activities for Peace Cities and Mayors for Peace; reports on Parliamentarians for Nuclear Disarmament and International Association of Lawyers against Nuclear Arms; current youth
ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
disarmament campaigns; review of positions taken by the New Zealand government on salient disarmament issues; and the current work of the Public Advisory Committee on Disarmament and Arms Control.
The Foundation continues to provide a meeting point and a membership catchment for a wide range of disarmament interests in New Zealand. The Foundation continues to provide a meeting point and a membership catchment for a wide range of disarmament interests in New Zealand. However the present situation is one where not a great deal of Foundation staff time can be devoted to these activities on account of other immediate demands and contract delivery requirements. The Foundation’s record in funding disarmament and peace research activities in other centres, notably Christchurch and Wellington, while well intentioned, was never adequate on account of the persisting funding difficulties facing the organisation. This situation is not likely to change, making the Foundation’s most realistic role being one that of a catalyst and promoter of disarmament activities among its friends and affiliates. Most of that activity is voluntary and spontaneous, driven by ongoing campaigns and initiatives, Foundation connections remaining always vital in sustaining this critical work. n

Cool Schools Peer Mediation Programme CHRISTINA BARRUEL, COOL SCHOOLS NATIONAL TRAINER
The financial year (April 2011 – March 2012)
was once again a very busy one for Cool Schools. During this period there have been approximately 1029 teachers and 10,566 students trained in peaceful conflict resolution and peer mediation skills within schools throughout New Zealand. Of these, 25% have been non-contract trainings which have brought in a total of $20,460 as additional funds for The Peace Foundation. This is an increase of $6125 from the last financial year’s non-contract income. In October 2011 all primary Cool Schools principals were sent a letter introducing The School Agreement and the Partnership School Initiative. The Agreement specifies that a Partnership School contributes to the cost of administration, resource development and the bi-annual production of MediationWorks (the Cool Schools Newsletter). The school pays an annual subscription of $150. A Partnership School receives benefits including Peace Foundation membership. The good news is that by the end of March 2012 we had 120 Partnership Schools on board. This initiative brought in an income of $18,000 to The Peace Foundation. Schools continue to sign the Agreement!
Other highlights for Cool Schools over this financial year have been: Wellington Secondary School Symposium - 14 April 2011 This event was well organised by Leah Rothman and Lynn Scott with guest speakers and students from

six secondary schools sharing ideas and expertise throughout the day. Both Jonnie Black and I were invited down from The Peace Foundation as guest speakers. Jonnie did an awesome job of co-facilitating the day’s proceedings with Leah. The West Auckland Peer Mediators BIG DAY OUT - 17 June 2011 This event was supported by 11 primary schools throughout West Auckland (12 Cool School Coordinators and 60 peer mediators). Feedback from the participants indicated that they enjoyed the most was the peer mediator presentations and the opportunity to share ideas in groups with mediators from other schools. Eve Cahill, our Peace Foundation intern, was our guest speaker. She spoke of her experience as a secondary school peer mediator and how this has influenced her career choice.

Conference at Auckland University Epsom Campus - 28 June 2011 Theme: “Youth Violence and Anger: What to Do About It” I was invited to deliver a presentation on “Peaceful Conflict Resolution – A Positive Choice”. This was an opportunity to promote Cool Schools to professionals throughout the Auckland region who work with ‘at risk’ youth: counsellors, social workers, RTLB, Guidance Counsellors, health professionals and other programme co-ordinators. There were approximately 50 participants who attended the presentation.

MediationWorks Edition 1, 2011 and the New Primary Resources During June our ‘new look’ Cool Schools Newsletter (with its flash new name … MediationWorks) was distributed to schools around New Zealand. Feedback from Principals and Cool Schools Co-ordinators has been very positive. At the beginning of July, the new, user friendly primary resources including: the Primary Manual (Edition 5), The Essential Peer Mediators Handbook, three A2 size posters and The Co-ordinator’s Kit (Edition 2 on a USB stick), were made available for schools to purchase. The feedback over the last 8 months has been very positive. The new manual really helped to make whole school implementation of the programme achievable for classroom teachers. I would like to acknowledge Toni Ingram, the project manager/contributing editor and Tamara Nyholt, Director of Maisonette Design Studio, for the effort they have put into developing these good quality primary programme resources.

The Cool Schools National Trainers’ Hui - 1-2 September 2011 Held in Auckland and attended by all 6 trainers: Andrea O’Hagan, Lynn Scott, Tracy Scott, Carolyne Smith, Jonnie Black and myself. A packed 2 day programme of sharing and networking. The new primary resources were discussed as were training delivery/content innovations and challenges from each trainer. Christina returns from her Winston Churchill Fellowship in Seattle, USA (Oct/Nov) I was fortunate to be hosted by Nancy Kaplan and her family in Bellevue, Seattle during my 3 week project period. Nancy is the Executive Director of Conflict Resolution Unlimited Institute (CRU), the not-for-profit organization at the centre of my project. I also had the good fortune to spend two days with Committee for Children (C4C). They are one of the most successful NGOs in the USA, their programmes being in over 23,000 schools nationwide. Now that I have returned from this amazing experience, I have a six month period to prepare a comprehensive report which will be submitted to the Directors of the Fellowship Trust. MeditionWorks – Edition 2, 2011 Published and distributed to schools, funders and supporters of the programme at the end of the school year (December). Once again, feedback indicated that the revitalized newsletter was popular with readers for both its content and design. Adult Conflict Resolution and Peer Mediation Training - 14-15 December This was facilitated by Tracy Scott as professional development to the Cool Schools trainers, staff and interns. The training evaluated conflict styles and provided mediation skills through lots of roleplays. The skills learnt were useful in working collaboratively with a team. Welcome to Lisa Gibson Our latest addition to the Cool Schools National Trainers Team. Lisa works part-time for The Peace Foundation as our Parents Programme Co-ordinator and
12 The Peace Foundation
Trainer. She has spent time during February and March this year assisting me with Cool Schools trainings in both secondary and primary schools. I have valued her input to the content and delivery of the programme I am pleased to have another capable trainer to support me in the greater Auckland region. Applying My Learning from the Winston Churchill Fellowship A key motivation for me to undertake this project was to use the ideas, strategies, and resources from attending CRU’s faculty trainings, school trainings and interviewing key people associated with the organization, to help me with the effective development of our own programme. Having used Term One 2012, as a trial period, I have now incorporated the successful new resources and training presentation ideas into my own and the other trainers’ kits so that any school implementing our programme will benefit from the new resources. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Merran Spath and Jonnie Black to the Cool Schools team in Auckland. Merran is The Peace Foundation administration assistant. She brings new energy, passion and superb skills to both Cool Schools and The Peace Foundation. Jonnie works part time as our Māori Programme Co-ordinator. He is a wonderful asset to The Peace Foundation and comes from a background in mediation having worked in the role of ‘peer mediator’ for 5 years at Mt Roskill Grammar. Lastly I would like to thank all the awesome colleagues who have given hours of endless work throughout the financial year to keep Cool Schools alive and well: the national team of trainers - Andrea O’Hagan, Lynn Scott, Tracy Scott, Carolyne Smith, Lisa Gibson and Jonnie Black; the office staff, interns and volunteers - Caroline Ongleo, Merran Spath, Rae Holloway, Ryan Elizondo, Chris Esther, Eve Cahill, Neha Sehgal, Julia Hartmann, Jade Brunsting, Unnsteinn Johannsson, Kirsty MacDowell, Charlotte Graham, Alvin Selby and Eden Seribas. Your efforts have been a huge contribution to the success of Cool Schools. Much appreciated! n

Kia Tau te Rangimarie Maori Conflict Resolution Programme JONNIE BLACK, MAORI PROGRAMME CO-ORDINATOR E nga mana, e nga reo, e nga karangaranga maha, tena koutou katoa. Me mihi ki a ratou kua huri tuaara mai ki a tatou; ratou nga tupuna i wehe atu mai noa, tatuu mai ki a ratou kua ngaro i nga wa tata nai. Noho wairua mai koutou. Na koutou te huarahi whai oranga i timata, ma matou e noho nei e whiriwhiri tetahi oranga hei waiho i muri iKia a matou. Tau te Rangimarie Kia Tau te Rangimarie Ka mihi hoki ki te katoa puta noa i te motu, tae noa atu ki nga whenua o tawaahi. Ko matou o te Tuapapa Rongomau o Aotearoa e mihi atu nei ki a koutou katoa. Tena koutou. Kia Tau te Rangimarie (may peace prevail) kaupapa Māori Conflict Resolution Pilot Programme begun in 2011. It started with a research on the programme design within a kaupapa māori structure while ensuring it aligns with Te Aho Matua o Nga Kura Kaupapa (Kura Kaupapa founding document), and Te Whare Tapa Wha (Māori model of health). There were various hui with key stakeholders including Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, Maxim Institute, Whariki Research Team and Kia Ora Hauora. A school agreement on Kia Tau te Rangimarie was initiated between the Foundation and the pilot schools. The agreement outlines the responsibilities of the kura and the Foundation, conformity to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and participation in resource development. In early 2012, the programme was implemented in 2 out of the 3 pilot schools. The first training was

completed in February at Te Kura Hata Maria (decile 4) for 16 participants with an age range from 12 to 76. Evaluations indicated the trainer’s proficiency in Te Reo, and flexibility to accommodate all learning styles for different ages. Recommendation was to provide ongoing support through revisits. The second kura was Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Rawhitiroa (decile 1) for 20 student kaitakawaenga (mediators), school board members, parents, support staff, and teaching staff. The training was effective in terms of trialing the Tuakana/Teina model. As most Kura Kaupapa Māori are composite schools the Programme will be further designed to accommodate this type of framework. Jonnie is supported by Alexander Stevens, external cultural supervisor, attended various Māori hui, tauiwi network meetings, and events, and other professional development opportunities to further enhance his capacity in Māori programme development. Jonnie was nominated by The Peace Foundation in 2011 and appointed as White Ribbon Ambassador in March 2012 to deepen his philosophy of being against violence towards individuals and whānau. His work with The White Ribbon Campaign gives him opportunities to present at regional events, and attend other non-violence conference and hui. This adds to the combined partnership with The Peace Foundation, The White Ribbon Campaign and the Family Commission. Jonnie would like to thank all the pilot schools for participating and implementing the programme. The Ministry of Health for funding this project and lastly those individuals who contributed to supporting this programme. No reira noho ora mai i roto i te Runga Rawa. Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa. n

Peaceful Family Communication Programme LISA GIBSON, PARENT PROGRAMME CO-ORDINATOR AND TRAINER The Peaceful Family Communication Programme has welcomed over 108 participants over the last contract period. As a result parents who have attended the course are not only better equipped to get their own needs met, but also to support their children to grow into healthy, happy, confident youths and adults with increased self-esteem. As trainers we feel very honoured to be able to deliver this course to parents and the community as the changes in peoples lives are often immediate and dramatic. At the end of each course we get comments like “Wow why didn’t they teach us this at school?” “I didn’t think I needed this course but now that I’ve done it, I realise EVERYONE needs it.” Elena Kostyugova, one of the Parent Programme trainers said that she constantly hears people sharing their personal stories during and after the course about how they were able to create more peace in their family, stop shouting and resorting to punishment, talk respectfully and build more love and understanding with their children and partner. We both believe the skills taught on the course are priceless and the more people have a chance to experience and practice them, the less conflicts there will be in families and our community. The Peaceful Family Communication Course is mostly attended by women and it’s always great to see men coming along and having a life-changing experience too. At the end of one of the trainings a Pacific Island man came up to me and said “This is the very first time I’ve found a way of communicating with others without having to raise my voice or fists.” Living and Learning Centre, Mangere, Oct 2011 ( Elena Kostyugova) Participants in this course were early childhood educators working at the Living and Learning Centre, and most were also mothers themselves. The 11 participants gave positive feedback and all reported a greater level of confidence in their conflict resolution and communication skills after completion of the course. The majority of participants noted that the training was extremely well organised and that the trainer demonstrated excellent knowledge of the course content. Additional feedback from participants included: “I wish the course can be taught to ALL young children. A lot of the world’s problems could have been prevented if only these strategies in better communication have been learned at the early stages of life.” “This course is well presented and it helps in our everyday learning for communication, especially for families, friends and relationships.” 14 The Peace Foundation
ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
Living and Learning Centre, Mangere, November 2011 (Lisa Gibson) The 22 participants in this course were primarily parents of children enrolled at the Living and Learning Centre in Mangere, as well as mothers from the Merivale Women’s Refuge. The teachers at the centre provided assistance by caring for the children of participants while they attended the course. The demographic of this group of participants varied from the previous course with participants coming form challenging circumstances including highly stressed living environments. Some participants had also had their children taken away from them so were particularly in need of assistance with parenting and communication. Overall the feedback was very positive with the majority of participants finding the skills extremely useful, and the course very engaging, fun, interactive and clear. Most participants reported a great level of confidence (with approximately 90% of participants now feeling confident, very confident or totally confident) in their conflict resolution and communication skills. The majority of participants noted that the training was very well organised and that the trainers demonstrated very good or excellent knowledge of the course content. Additional feedback from participants of this course included: “What a wonderful opportunity to learn and improve on your communication. This course has had a positive influence in my life and am very grateful for this blessing.” “I am excited about building stronger relationships with my deserving family.”
ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
Sunnynook Primary School, Nov 2011 (Elena Kostyugova) This course was offered at Sunnynook Primary School with the support of the Principal who was keen to offer this to parents within the school community. Participants in this course were a mixture of parents in the wider North Shore community as well as parents attending Sunnynook Primary School. Overall the feedback was very positive with the majority of participants reported gaining good or very good understanding of ‘I’ messages and asking open questions, building rapport, reflective listening and winwin conflict resolution. Some useful suggestions for improvement of the course included adding another session to include more time for practical exercises and questions, and more time spent on assertiveness skills. n Additional feedback from participants of this course included: “It helps many situations in your everyday life, with your children, husband, friends, co-workers, etc. It is very practical and fun. Knowing these skills makes your relationships better.” “This is one of the most practical and effective communication courses to improve relationships for family and friends.”

Youth Activities on Disarmament and Peace JONNIE BLACK, YOUTH Co-ordinator
REACT – Responding to Armed Conflict is a
workshop for secondary school students which includes an interactive presentation on armed conflict and disarmament, empowering youth to have a voice on these topics both the local and global levels. The content of the REACT workshop has been strategically developed to link into the New Zealand Social Studies Curriculum, dealing with two key areas of focus: how communities and nations meet their responsibilities and exercise their rights in local, national and global contexts; and how conflicts can arise from different beliefs and ideas. Four secondary schools in Auckland received the workshop directly benefitting about 100 students from various ethnic backgrounds, engaging and participating in the workshop. These schools are Mount Roskill Grammar, Lynfield College, Sancta Maria College, and Edgewater College. Thanks to Wilson Chau for developing the programme for The Peace Foundation, and Vincent Chak for coming on board as an intern -trainer. 25th Anniversary of a Nuclear Free New Zealand Poster Contest It has been 25 years since New Zealand was declared a nuclear free nation and we at The Peace Foundation found this to be a significant event to host a poster competition within secondary schools nationwide. There were 20 entries of high quality posters following the theme nuclear disarmament and peace. These posters were also displayed in Aotea Square during the launch of Auckland Peace City and Celebration of the 25th Anniversary of a Nuclear Free New Zealand. We would like to thank Murray Holmes from Soar Printing, Lee Major from Cascade Graphic
Design, and The Peace Foundation staff for serving as panel of judges. We continue to maintain the ENACT - Youth Enabling Action Youth Enabling Action website to support youth in the promotion of peace at home, in the community and around the world. Our youth overseas interns last year helped update the website with peace issues, activities and programmes, and resources. Thanks to Julia Hartmann, Unnsteinn Johannsson, and Jade Isadora Brunsting overseas interns who shared their perspective on peace issues relevant to youth of Aotearoa and overseas. The content management helped increased website unique visitors to 90%. Youth Rising for Peace Tele-Summit Natasha Barnes, Jonnie Black and Alyn Ware kicked off the New Zealand section of the HYPERLINK “http:// youthrisingforpeace.com/” \t “_blank” Youth Rising for Peace Tele-summit on 12 February with a 45-minute dialogue focused primarily on peer mediation and nuclear abolition. The Tele-Summit was a 24-hour global celebration of young voices for peace. It started in Aotearoa-New Zealand and continued to wing its way around the world with a new country every hour, with listeners able to tune in by phone or on the internet from anywhere in the world. The Youth Rising for Peace is a prelude to the HYPERLINK “http://www.summerofpeace.net/” \t “_blank” Summer for Peace culminating in the UN International Day for Peace, and organised by The Shift Network. n

Treasurer’s Report DALE HUNTER, ACTING TREASURER
The 2011/2012 financial year shows a continuing
trend of falling incomes. This includes funding from the government and NGOs. Donations and membership subscriptions from the public also decreased. The Audited Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2012 recorded a small deficit of $2,094 compared with a $155 deficit in the previous year, to 31 March 2011. Total gross income for the year to 31 March 2012 was $454,891, which is 21% down from last year’s figure of $576,515. (For further comparison, this 2012 figure was nearly 60% down from the 31 March 2010 year of $1,119,046). Through much effort, we were able to reduce our total expenditure by a similar 20% percentage to match our reduced level of income. On a more positive note, besides the ongoing costcutting measures, the Foundation has been able to raise additional revenues through charging a Cool Schools school subscription and also providing non-funded training programmes to schools who are willing to pay The Peace Foundation for their services. In addition, the Auckland Council made money from their budgets available to fund the public launch of the Auckland Peace City initiative, and tree planting projects with the local boards.
ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
We are pleased to announce that both the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Development have confirmed their funding (at the same level) for the Cool Schools and Parents’ Programmes for the ensuing year, until 30 June 2013. This date also marks the end of the two-year contract we had initially secured with the Ministry of Health. It is critical that the Foundation takes the initiative to enter into discussion with both Ministries with a view to increasing the funding level and/or the term for these programmes beyond 2013. Rae Holloway retired as Finance Manager early 2012. She gave excellent service to The Peace Foundation and her work was much appreciated. Thank you Rae. She has been replaced by Marcus Zhao who has continued the good work on the accounts, especially in the areas of cost cutting and increasing reporting transparency. n
