| 24/08/04 |
Unable to locate NZTE support person suggested to help collate detail
for contract, so we resubmitted our own well established web based
program management and budget documentation as the funding is now
urgent. Confusion arose between the wholistic and organic nature of
the Kaitiakianga Program and NZTE desire to fund just a single enterprise
project. |
ER |
| Nov 04 |
Local team and community frustrated by delays and hassles in processing
the TZTE funding contract so divert their efforts back onto other
priorities. The Kura with it's building programme in full swing decides
it does not have the energy to be involved with administration of
the funding contract but still supports all learning activities where
it and the children can be involved. |
CE |
| Dec 04 |
As the now completed UNITEC study and immediate active projects
involve mainly the village, the NZTE funding contract now to to be
processed via the Minginui Village Council led by Andy Blick. This
again raised reasonable community and Runanga concerns as to whether
this is the best long term solution. This took the program to the
undercurrents where we let things float to let the issues surface
and ideas germinate to find a new growth path forward. |

The Kaitiakitanga Program grows independently accross the community
at its own pace, with more information about other activities that
are being done locally and with other partners being added to the
website (Web costs agreed to be covered as koha by Strategic Expertise
Ltd) . Peter Goldsbury, subject to community wishes, will continue
to work externally to help find opportunities, network connections,
support, koha and funding to grow more innovative Kaitiakitanga activities
proposed by any group in the community, and help the community share
its journey and values, unconstrained by NZTE / Government criteria
and timescales. |
