Summary:

Samoa is leading the way for inclusive education in the Pacific. Australia's support for inclusive education is part of its commitment towards Education For All - including children with disabilities. Since 2010, the Australian Aid Program has helped almost 500 children with disabilities gain access to education in Samoa. It has also helped around 250 children with disabilities receive early intervention support. 2012 was the 40th anniversary for Australian volunteers in Samoa. The Australian Aid Program has volunteers working in government ministries, NGOs, sporting associations and private sector organizations. In this short film, you will meet four Australian volunteers providing valuable support to SENESE Inclusive Education Support Services: Caroline, Russell, Kerry and Ben. They are able to transfer their knowledge and skills to their local counterparts as well as learn more about the Pacific and expand their own skills. They are also bringing meaningful and positive change to the individual lives they touch
