Le Va are supporting Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People in the development of a National Pacific Disability Plan. 

We would love to extend a warm invite to Pasifika youth with disabilities, Pasifika people on the Autism Spectrum and their aiga or whānau (family) to share their experiences with us. We want to understand the challenges you and your aiga face, current systems that are working well along with ones that are not, and how we can make the system and sector better.

We are holding a series of talanoa (conversations/discussions) around New Zealand, Aotearoa and an online survey will also be available soon for people who cannot attend the talanoa sessions.

For those in Auckland that missed our last talanoa, we hope you can join us at our next talanoa! 

When: 3rd April 2024, 6:00-8:30pm 
Where: 53 Otara Road, Manukau Institute of Technology Pasifika Community Centre, Tanoa room (Wheelchair accessible venue). 

Free parking is available on site.

Kai (food) will be provided. 
Link to register can be found here:
