Aotearoa, New Zealand— Building a Culture of Everlasting Peace
Duration: January 3 - 10, 2003
Work: Painting houses, environmental clean up, landscaping and cleaning of historic area.
Highlights: The involvement of the local Moreau community with the international participants was important element in creating a unique spirit of cross-cultural understanding.
This was the second RYS project in New Zealand and the first international program. This project drew much support from Australia and pulled in participants from a wide variety of nations and religious traditions. Networking with organizations was a key to the programs success as Habitat for Humanity, the local civic leaders and the Moreau Youth Movement worked to model the pattern of cooperative living so critical in building a culture of everlasting peace.
