Introduction New Zealand lies south of Australia and is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea.

Children in New Zealand have an unacceptable chance of being abused. Many children are

affected by child abuse and have no way to escape the abuse. Voice of Children Foundation is a

non-profit organization developed to reduce and eventually eliminate child abuse as well as

support people affected by child abuse. Voice of Children reaches out to help those affected by

any kind of child abuse. Providing safe home environments and counseling for the victims is a

key part in the healing process for the people whose lives are changed by child abuse.

In New Zealand there are sunny beaches, geysers, hot springs, and large glaciers which makes it

one of the most diverse countries in geographic terms. The business options in New Zealand are

endless; the variety of climates and type of land attract different people to this unique country.

New Zealand is a developed and stable country that exports goods to China, US, Australia and

Japan. New Zealand imports goods from Germany, Singapore, Japan, US, China and Australia.

The country is run by a constitutional monarchy. The country’s economy is boosted by the

technique of taxing goods. By limiting and eliminating specific taxes and tariffs the economy is

able to rise.

There are currently 4,401,916 people living in New Zealand. Within the population the ratio of

male to female is almost equal. The city with the highest population is Auckland. New Zealand

location allows there to be easy access to seafood and fruits. Housing in New Zealand is most

commonly homes that are larger than 3 rooms. In big cities homes are townhomes, urbanized

houses, and fancy mansions, whereas homes in rural areas are large farmhouses. In New Zealand

there are many means of transportation such as, cars, trains, buses, planes, rail systems, and by

foot in big cities. The typical workday for a New Zealand citizen is from 8 am to 5 pm.

Businesses primarily conduct business only on weekdays, and not during dinner time. Employees

are given specific paid days off depending on the holidays.

All children are required to attend school from the age 6 to 16. New Zealand takes pride in their

children’s education. The school day for most schools begins at 9am and ends around 3 pm. In

New Zealand there are a lot of sports and activities to get involved with. With the range in

terrain and climates there are activities for everybody to be a part of. Along with sports there are

many attractions to see in one of the most unique countries. With a country like New Zealand

being so diverse there are a variety of cultures. A range in cultures and types of people result in

numerous languages being spoken. New Zealand is primarily an English speaking country;

however native and immigrant people choose to speak Maori, Samoan, French, and New Zealand

sign language. Along with a number of languages there are a number of religions that are

practiced. Christian easily dominates the country, but there are minor religions practiced as well.

New Zealand is a stable country that has a lot to offer to people, but the children who are born in

New Zealand are at risk for being abused. This tragedy affects more than just the child abused.

Voice of Children is available for those children and people affected by abuse. By supporting

and providing for people who are affected the child abuse statistics and the number of children

being abused with begin to decrease.

SubstantiatedChild abuse

Issue:

One child every five weeks is buried due to child abuse in New Zealand. Having the fifth highest

child abuse rate, children born in New Zealand are at a large risk. The rising number of child

abuse cases cannot go unnoticed. Child abuse is one of, if not the largest issues in New Zealand

currently and the issue is growing. Not only are children at risk, but the surviving cases can lead

to issues later on in the survivors lives.

Child abuse in New Zealand consists of physical, sexual, and mental abuse. Targeted towards

children less than five years old and most cases are kids under one year of age. Last year in New

Zealand, there was 148 659 reports of concern to Child, Youth and Family abuse cases. By

definition child abuse is any mistreatment of a child by parent or guardian, including neglect,

beating, and sexual molestation. In New Zealand each component of that definition is met. Most

commonly the child is familiar and knows the person who is abusing them.

One of every 30 children is born at risk of being abused. Not only are there a large number of

children at risk, but there is a large number of

those children who are abused. The lucky children

who survive abuse cases often times face issues

later in their lives. Issues in their later lives that are

commonly caused by abuse are teen pregnancy,

delinquency, low academic achievement, and drug

and mental health issues. Knowing how child

abuse affects people in their later life crime rates

and other issues will begin to rise. Child abuse can

and does affect everyone in New Zealand.

A child being abused in any way is enough to get

people’s attention. A life being taken away from an innocent child and lifelong scars that the

survivors will live with for the rest of their lives impacts everybody’s lives. From a friend to a

family member to class mate at school being abused can change your look at life. If child abuse

can be reduced or even better eliminated completely imagine the change that could occur in New

Zealand. Crime rates, teen pregnancy, and drug use would be reduced. Changing the number of

children being abused in New Zealand can create a better image for the country as well as create

safer homes for children.

With 1 in every 30 children being abused in New Zealand this is not a small issue. Child abuse

affects children at the time of the abuse, but also later on their lives. Child abuse is not something

that leaves someone’s past, child abuse stays with that person for their entire life. This issue is

and will continue to grow and more children will be affected if something is not done to stop this

from occurring. Creating an organization to support children who have been affected as well as

create safe homes for children in child abuse cases to be placed in will help the survivors move

forward with their lives.

What We Do

Children in New Zealand are abused daily and it is our job to protect those children. Whether we

homes for children is one of our priorities. Removing children from abusive homes and placing

them with qualified guardians as well as providing counseling and support to those children.

Carnivals and gatherings are organized for children who have suffered similar things can meet

and talk to each other about recovering and moving forward. Bringing positivity into these

children’s lives can make a huge difference.

Additionally, our organization continues reaching out to people who have been affected by child

abuse. People who have been abused as a child commonly have mental instability later in life. By

having counselors available for these people to speak with they can learn how to begin

recovering from child abuse. A large focus of our organization is to help survivors move forward

in their lives.

Geographical Analysis

From the sunny beaches, the hot springs in Rotorua, to the

dramatic rivers in Fiordland, New Zealand is one of the

most diverse countries. The business options in New

Zealand are endless; with the variety of climates and

locations any business would be successful. The wide

range of areas in New Zealand attracts many different

people. With a variety of places and people the

opportunities in New Zealand are endless.

New Zealand is located about 1,250 mi southeast of

Australia. Divided between two tectonic plate New Zealand

lies on the Pacific and the Australian plates. The country is

surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. New

Zealand is separated into two islands the North and South

Island, and the two islands are divided by the Cook Strait.

Most of New Zealand’s major cities are in the North Island.

These cities are Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton and Tauranga. Since New Zealand is a fairly

small country, fully surrounded by water most means of product distribution come from shipping

via water. With most means of product distribution coming from shipping by water challenges

arise when products are transported to smaller cities located in the rugged terrain of the


6

mountains. Shipping from coastline cities to the inner island cities would primarily be done by

ground shipping, but can be done by air to reduce time.

From warm subtropical weather in the north to -10°C in the south New Zealand has a wide range

of climates. While the far most parts of the North Island are subtropical and the further you travel

into the South Island the colder the temperatures can be still the majority of the country is

coastline which means a mild climate. The average annual temperatures range from 10°C in the

south to 16°C in the north of New Zealand. The coldest month in New Zealand is July and the

warmest month is usually January or February. In New Zealand the variations between summer

and winter temperatures generally are small, although inland and to the east the variation is

greater. With mainly mild temperature and little changes between seasons the shipping

conditions are very similar year around. Most of New Zealand receives between 600 and 1600

mm of rainfall, annually with a dry season in the summer. (NIWA, 2000) In the northern and

central locations of New Zealand more rainfalls in the winter, whereas the southern parts of New

Zealand receive more rain in the summer. Mild climate year around show allow for business

transportations in a variety of forms.

Problems of Scarcity

New Zealand has the necessities to live. New Zealand has access to water, food and supplies to

build homes etc. The ability to import goods as well makes New Zealand’s living even better. If

there is a shortage of a necessity in a particular year they can import that good if need be because

they have established partnerships with other countries.

Balance of Payments

$37.84 billion exports and $37.35 billion imports in the year of 2013.

New Zealand has a trade surplus of $.49 billion. (CIA.Factbook)

Trade Balance

New Zealand is situation of a trade surplus which means that New Zealand exports more than

they import leaving them in good standings from trade balance perspective. New Zealand has

debt but it does not come directly from the act of importing and exporting. In comparison to the

United States, New Zealand has a much less amount of total debt. In comparison to similar

countries such as Liberia and Costa Rica New Zealand has more debt which could be because

New Zealand is further advanced in a variety of industries.

Exchange Rates

An exchange rate is the current market price for which one currency can be exchanged for

another. (About.com) This can be a benefit if the US dollar is worth more than the other country

however, it can also make US products look like they are overpriced in a sense to other

countries. The exchange rate becomes a detriment when the US dollar is worth less than the

other countries currency.

Population

Population: 4,401,916(CIA.Factbook)

Introduction: A country with a very close male to female ratio allows for this business to reach

out to both sexes equally. Additionally, the growth rate may be lower than some countries;

however the growth rate is increasing meaning that the population is continuing to increase

which can and usually leads to more social issues as well as open up new needs for new

businesses. Lastly, a country with issues that need resolved that has a number of highly

populated cities allows a business to set up central locations so that the major cities can be

affected the product or service the business has to offer. As the business is established and is

growing it would be logical to expand further to the smaller cities, but starting out in the major

cities would give a business solid starting points.

Housing

Introduction: New Zealand is very urbanized and has fairly large homes similar to the United

States. Seeing that New Zealand has larger homes with fewer people living in each room more

furniture and appliances are needed in each home. Children watch TV often and often times have

their own rooms therefore commonly will have their own TV. Companies and stores selling

products for home use that are successful in the US would be successful in New Zealand as well.

New Zealand has many kinds of transportation such as cars, more

than a dozen airports, a variety of ferry’s to choose from, buses,

and train rail systems. With 2.4 million cars in New Zealand there

is a large amount of paved roads. The primary type of

transportation is determined by the location in the country.

has more paved than unpaved roads. This allows for

easier distribution of goods across the country. There

is still a substansial amount of unpaved roads in New

Zealand. The unpaved roads in New Zealand are

primarily in the mountain range area and the rural

areas of the country.

Ranking of Merchant Marine

(CIA.Factbook)

This graph compares the merchant

marine ranking between New Zealand

and Ireland which are both countries fully

surrounded by waters. Ireland is ranked

higher than New Zealand meaning that

there is more marine based business that

occurs in Ireland however they are both

in ideal locations for marine based

business.

Number of Airports VS Ports and Terminals

(CIA.Factbook)

Studying this graph shows us that there are

many more airports in New Zealand than ports

and terminals. With 123 airports paved and

unpaved combined and 24 primary ports and

terminals there is more opportunity for goods

and services to be provided by using the

airports for transportation. 24 ports and

terminals is solid number of ports and

terminals to have in a country still proving

more than adequate access by water.

Recipes

No bake strawberry cheesecake

Ingredients:

1 (250 g) packet plain sweet biscuits

125 g butter (melted)

Filling

250 g cream cheese

4 tablespoons icing sugar

300 ml cream (whipping cream)

Topping

1 3/4 cups water

2 tablespoons cornflour

1 cup sugar

1 (85 g) packet strawberry jelly crystals

1 (400 g) punnet strawberries

Directions:

For the base, crumb the biscuits using a food processor and add the melted butter.

Reserving 1/3 cup press remaining mix into a 9x13 dish. I like to use a glass dish to show

off the layers.

For the filling, beat cream cheese and sugar together.

Whip the cream until soft peak stage and then fold into cream cheese mixture.

Spread over the base and place in fridge to chill.

For the topping, put the cornflour, water and sugar in a saucepan and boil until thickened.

Stir in the jelly crystals until all are dissolved.

Chill until cold and starting to set.

Slice strawberries and add to chilled jelly.

Spoon over the filling as evenly as possible.

Sprinkle the reserved 1/3 cup crumb mix over the top.

Refrigerate until jelly has set and you are ready to serve

Cut into squares and remove carefully. I use a fish slice to do this.

Serve with some whipped cream on the side or on top of each square if desired.

New Zealand Pavlova

Ingredients:

6 egg whites

1 pinch salt

3 tablespoons water

12 ounces caster sugar

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

3 tablespoons corn flour

Directions:

Prepare a baking sheet by greasing lightly with butter and placing on it a sheet of tinfoil

or baking paper. Grease the tinfoil and then shake on a few drops of cold water and smear

around leaving a thin film of water.

Beat egg whites, salt and cold water until stiff with an electric mixer in large bowl.

While still beating add the castor sugar very slowly a tablespoonful at a time and keep

beating between additions. This takes time so don't hurry this step.

When all sugar has been added beat in the vinegar and the vanilla.

Remove beaters and with a metal tablespoon fold in with cutting movements the

cornflour.

With a spatula scoop mix onto baking sheet and form into a circle about 8" in diameter

but keeping the mix fairly high. Form a slight dent in the top if liked or keep flat.

Place tray in the center of a 350'F oven and bake for 10mins.

After 10mins lower heat to 300'F and then after another 10mins lower heat to 250'F and

continue baking for 1hr.

Do not open oven door while cooking.

When time is up turn oven off and open door slightly and leave Pavlova to cool in oven.

When completely cold top with freshly whipped cream and decorate with fruit of choice

or grated chocolate.

Another idea is to fill center with either lemon curd (made from the yolks) or chocolate

mousse. Then pipe rosettes of cream around the edge of filling. I have also used instant

puddings for the filling made with half milk & half cream to give a thicker mix and then

decorated with fruit to match flavor.

Note: If it looks like rain don't make! It has something to do with the atmosphere!

Pavlova can be made 1-2 days before or the morning of the day required. Then topped on

the day 4-6 hours before required.

Etiquette:

Proper attire for business is a formal and conservative outfit. Primarily neutral colors such as

navy and gray.

Business is never conducted at dinner. Business is to be conducted over a lunch.

Tipping is almost always refused because tipping is rare in New Zealand.

Show up on time or early to all types of events. Considered to be rude if late because events

start on time.

Do not chew gum or use toothpicks in public.

Must always ask for permission before photographing someone.

My intention of writing this letter is to be able to create a non-profit organization to decrease the

current amount of child abuse in New Zealand.

The main purpose of this organization is to support children who have been abused. It will focus

on the prevention, intervention and treatment for those affected. The child abuse rate in New

Zealand is unacceptably high and this organization is a solution to the current problem. This

organization will have counselors available for children and available homes for children to be

removed from the situation. This would be the chance for children to escape the abuse.

Understanding that there is a possibility that a non-profit organization in New Zealand is

unavailable I am also interested in improving the child poverty rate in the United Kingdom as

well as help the Women’s Rights in Peru. Either of these countries would be rewarding avenues,

the United Kingdom is a popular tourist vacation and many do not realize the child poverty that

is currently affecting millions of children. Whereas, Peru is not as modernized there are still

many issues that affect millions of people such as the rights that women currently have in Peru.

Both are in need of organizations to improve the current issues and either organization will be

successful.

Creating a nonprofit organization that will help children being abused will give them an

opportunity to move forward and live in a safe environment. This organization is their chance.

Please contact me as soon as possible with a response and any feedback; I can be contacted by

email which is [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Jessica Juvinall
