Cultural Diversity in the Volunteer Program
Fostering Diversity

"Our Diverse Communities" Poster
Submitted on 2November02 by Helen Scobie, ESOL Home Tutor Service, New Zealand
Here in New Zealand, the ESOL Home Tutor Service, fuelled by an enthusiastic band of some 3,000 volunteer tutors, has produced a great resource - a colour poster welcoming our diverse communities in 41 different languages. View the poster

The two most prominent languages are English and Maori - the others reflecting our main migrant communities over the years. Latest languages include Ethiopian (Oromo), Punjabi, Albanian, Burmese and simplified Chinese. All have a note of which language or region it comes from.
