Former All Black Saveatama Eroni Clarke remembers Jonah Lomu in this heart-felt tribute to the gentle giant.  

We don’t want anyone getting lost is the phrase coined by Flora Apulu, a member of the Youth Action Komiti.  The komiti was set up by Le Va to co-create, co-design and co-deliver our 3rd Growing Pasifika Solutions conference in April 2016. 

Guest contributor Fatima Akehurst shares her thoughts and experiences living with low vision, how disability support services have changed over the years and the role of the Faiva Ora Leadership group in bringing the voices of Pasifika with disabilities to the table to address service gaps and issues.

Thursday, 3 December marked the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The theme for 2015 was “Inclusion Matters” – Access and Empowerment for People of all Abilities. 

Le Va, in partnership with New Zealand Disability Support Network (NZDSN) will deliver three disability focused, Engaging Pasifika Cultural Competency programmes in February 2016.  

My name is Christina Taefu and I am very passionate about health and wellbeing for Pasifika communities. I absolutely love my job in mental health! I was very grateful to attend Le Va’s Engaging Pasifika cultural competency training programme recently.
