Just over $2,000 was collected from the National Thanksgiving Prayer for Cyclone Season offering held last Sunday. The money was donated to the Cook Islands World Day of Prayer Organisation by the Religious Advisory Council Chairman Thomas Willie.

On receiving the generous donation this afternoon, CIWDOP President Luduina Williams thanked the RAC saying that the Council have always been their number one supporter and that they are just so grateful to receive it as it would go a long way in supporting their historical event in March 2025.
The Cook Islands will for the first time host the World Day of Prayer 2025.

CONGRATULATIONS WOMAN OF THE MONTH for NOVEMBER 2024 - ELIZABETH CHASE
This month’s Woman of the Month is Elizabeth Chase.
Elizabeth was nominated by Myland Lane of Strong Mum’s Fitness for being an excellent advocate and participant in the Strong Mums journey.
Married to Mike Chase, together they have four children, 11 grand-children and one great grandson.
She is the daughter of the late Nau Tangiiau Teariki, and Beverly Tangiiau who is of New Zealand Maori descent.
As a child, Elizabeth spent a lot of time growing up on their Marae learning about Tikanga and culture from her grand-father who was a Kaumatua. At a very young age she was groomed to take on the leadership role to care for the whanau on the Marae, this paved a way for her to become involved in leadership roles.
Her employment over time in NZ included social working, supervising and overseeing staff to work with at risk and special needs children, and the live in Manager of the House of Hope Charitable Trust organisation.
In 2013 she graduated with a degree in social work to become a qualified registered social practitioner.
She ended her 10-year NZ working career in 2017, as a senior social practitioner for Oranga Tamariki, to move to Rarotonga.
Since arriving in Rarotonga, she utilised her skills through employment at Te Marae Ora Mental Health as a counsellor.
She has also worked alongside the inmates at the Rarotonga prison, facilitating the positive life skills program, and developed a fitness regime for the women encouraging them to feel good about themselves.
Elizabeth also worked for Punanga Tauturu, counselling women involved with family violence and couples trying to work through their marital issues.
In the sports space, Elizabeth says sports had a tremendous significance in her life. She competed at the NZ International Level for touch rugby, and was very competitive in basketball, rugby league, rugby union, waka ama, and body combat, saying sports and keeping fit has always been a passion of hers.
The Woman of the Month is now retired, and spends most of her time with her grand-children, knitting, gardening, and listening to her husband play the guitar.
Her full profile will be in this week’s issue of the Cook Islands Herald, her interview on Cook Islands Television News page, and her dinner awards evening will be held this Thursday at The Islander Hotel.

Marumaru Atua returns from Takutea

Timelapse of Vaka Marumaru Atua returning from Takutea where it picked up the rat eradication team. It’s always great to have volunteers like these who are passionate about keeping our islands rat-free, allowing vegetation to flourish and seabirds to nest in safety. The rat eradication project was requested by the Takutea Trust since 2014. With the CI Voyaging Society managing to get funds from the GEF Small Grants Fund. The volunteers from Te Ipukarea Society, Atiu Island Council, Takutea Island Trust, Islands Conservation, Korero o te Orau, and CI Voyaging Society left on the 28th August and this morning a team from the Atuianga ki te Tango program was at Avarua Wharf to welcome them back. #MarumaruAtua #TeIpukareaSociety
