Issue: Solidarity Fund - Who pays and how is it targetted?

At the last IWUF Executive Board Meeting in Chengdu in 2014, mention was made of an IWUF Solidarity Fund to support the development of Wushu in developing regions. Oceania was not mentioned as one of the target regions, however we are hoping this was just an oversight, particularly given the need for development in the Pacific Islands. 

One should remember that according to the IOC, the continent of Oceania represents one of the 5 Olympic Rings (5 Continents / 5 Olympic Rings)... Not 4! 

I have subsequently engaged with the CWA independently to send a Wushu delegation to New Zealand in September 2015 to promote Taolu and Sanda, as I did for the New Zealand Kung-Fu Wushu Federation's 20th Anniversary in 2010.  The CWA has been very helpful and cooperative towards my suggestions.


We believe that it is important for the development of Wushu, that matters of this nature should be of concern to the President of IWUF and priority given to those continents that are most in need of support.
