Whale Education Centre, Avarua, Rarotonga, Cook Islands

Nan Hauser and Mike Tavioni, with the assistance of benefactors Joan Daeschler and Helen Jordan, founded and built a Whale Education Centre, on the Are Matua of Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Throughout the year the centre is open to tourists and local children and adults as a place to view videos, exhibits, specimens, whale-related artefacts and artwork by the children of the Centre. School groups visit the Centre and educational courses have been adopted into the local school curriculum.
