I would like to present my report for 2021/22 to our Rotary Club
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the help I have had from the Eastern Hutt Rotary board – David Thompson as secretary, Tony Cornelius as treasurer and the committee directors.
While Covid considerations limited our ability to get a programme under way during 2021, I can report that we have been successful in moving forward with two very worthwhile projects in 2022.

The Rotary Peace Centres fall into two groups. The Masters’ Programme gives scholarships to the specific Peace and Conflict Resolution Studies at our Partner Universities, which are Duke/UNC [who share the 10 awardees in a joint programme], ICU in Japan, University of Queensland, Uppsala in Sweden, and Bradford in UK.
