Back when we started offering free rehabilitation services to the people of Korolevu-I-wai over 12 yeats ago we received an amazing donation of free build your own wheelchair from for kids. Currently there are 350 of these wheelchairs now collecting dust for months in Jordan waiting to be approved by Israel to enter Palestine with no organs on sight . There are multiple tragedies to consider here: that many wheelchairs are needed at all; a controlling and invading state is stopping medical equipment; children are sacrificing their rehab potential while the solution is in a box guarded by politics; and Australian donations made with good will of so many are being obstructed from purpose. No matter what your stance on the conflict, is it right to restrict medical support and equipment from children ?

One of the most dangerous things to do as a person living with no vision (or low vision) is cross a road … now let’s put some context to the Fijian landscape, few zebra crossing, few light controlled pedestrian crossing, car speed on the only main road going through all coastal villages, minimal mobility and travel skills taught . This is part of the reason so many people with vision concerns get stuck at home, minimal mobility skills are taught or accessible, the environment is not safe for no vision, and driver behaviour focussed on getting to a destination fast at the cost of community safety (I’m sure we have all seen more than one car in a ditch)

The good news story you need this week .
Conjoined Fijian twins to receive separation surgery 100% funded for all costs by Saudi Arabia. Life changing surgery for the girls and family, let’s hope it goes smoothly and the girls have an amazing life moving forward

A pair of rare conjoined twins in Fiji, who were born 10 months ago as part of a set of triplets, are about to have separation surgery in Saudi Arabia.

Di Cecea and Jesipeli Kikau were born eight weeks premature with their sister, Hossana, at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva.

"The doctors said this is the first case of conjoined twins in Fiji in 20 years," their mother Akenata said in a video shared by Fiji's Health Ministry.

"When they were born the doctors said they might only survive for a few days. We are grateful to the nurses, doctors and medical staff here at the hospital for their service."

With the girls having survived against the odds so far, the next stage of their fight for life takes them to the other side of the world.

The twins' parents, Akeneta and Watisoni Vulimaiigiladi of Rewa, have been searching for a country to perform the surgery since the girls were discharged from hospital eight months ago.

Australia and Saudi Arabia were among the contenders, and finally the Saudi Arabian government offered to fund the multi-million-dollar surgery, as well as the family's airfares and accommodation, under a humanitarian programme.

Autism is a neuro divergent disability that impacts one’s brains in a very large spectrum of ways . Some people can live never knowing they have autism, where others have profound disability. For high functioning people masking could be strategy used consciously or subconsciously to prepare and get through a day , where a person may think that level of preparation is ‘normal’.
