Chinese New Settlers Services Trust
In 1998, a group of Chinese new settlers who came from China , Taiwan , Hong Kong , Malaysia and other Asian countries, voluntarily gathered together, with the aim of helping Chinese-speaking people to settle down well in New Zealand . They started with a senior Tai Chi group that ran some entertainment activities in the Kotuku House square in the front of Manukau City Council white house building. The team leader was Jenny (Ling Juan) Wang, who was a first year student in Social and Community Work Diploma course at the Manukau Institute of Technology at that time.
¡ö Jenny drafted and the first board approved the first paper that stated CNSST constitution and philosophies at her home garage in June 1998. The trust was registered in September 1998. The initial name was °Manukau Chinese New Settlers Services Trust(in 2000, it was changed to °Chinese New Settlers Services Trust¡±).
Now, CNSST has become the largest and only Chinese group to be approved by CYF for the provision of professional services to the large Chinese speaking client group in the Auckland region.
The resettlement process is a life crisis. Chinese new settlers in New Zealand face difficulties such as language and cultural barriers, which prevent them from integrating and contributing to New Zealand society. Our Trust aims to bridge the gap." - Jenny Wang, Executive Director, CNSST
