Library & office services
At Luman Hipakoko HWC operates a small community library and low-cost office services such as printing and photocopying, previously not available locally.
This is generously supported by the indigo foundation, enabling us to pay a small allowance to HWC members so they can commit to doing regular work at Luman Hipakoko, and contributing to other costs of the services operating there.

Independence referendum
In 2019, HWC delivered Stret Tok Long Referendum,a civics awareness program, throughout Haku in preparation for the Referendum on Independence in November 2019. The work was supported by the National Democratic Institute, Washington, US.
During voting, 20 HWC members volunteered as Accredited Observers – DOMESTIC, covering 23 Polling Stations over one week.
Ten HWC members were accredited as Observers for the BRC at the Counting Centre at the Hutjena High School Hall. This was a 24-hour process and the volunteers worked in shifts, sleeping on floors on their breaks.
