Taikura Trust l CheeHoo! Podcast (Le Va - Faiva Ora Community Innovation Fund)
Growing up listening to the radio, Daniel Te’O wanted to use the airwaves to ensure the Pasifika community had access to all the information they needed to feel included. His six-episode podcast series, CheeHoo!, which features a range of interviews and information, aims to bridge the communication gap and reduce isolation, helping Pasifika people to better utilise the services available to them. -
Yes | Re- Imagine (Le Va - Faiva Ora Community Innovation Fund )
Portraying the sporting hopes and dreams of Pasifika youth with disabilities underpinned the third Yes Re-Imagine campaign, supported by the Faiva Ora Community Innovation Fund. Aimed at breaking down the barriers of segregation Pasifika youth with disabilities experience, Yes Re-Imagine’s Olympia campaign encouraged Pasifika youth to be seen as young people first, and their impairment second. -
Macmaya |Our Narrative (Le Va - Faiva Ora Community Innovation Fund)
Samoan-New Zealand musician, TJ Taotua, wanted to identify the influence music and creative arts could have on diminishing barriers for Pasifika youth living with a disability. Working with Pasifika youth in South Auckland, the result was the writing and recording of Our Narrative / Bodies of Art, a song which tells the message Pasifika youth with disabilities want others to walk with them, not for them.
