What is your vision for Pacific Child Wellbeing?
Children who are loved and thriving in our families and communities, feeling that they belong and are valued surrounded by an environment that we care for and that cares for them I think the Yanuca Declaration from the Pacific Islands Ministers of Health Meeting in 1999 epitomises my vision for children “Children are nurtured in body and mind Environments invite learning and leisure People work and age with dignity Ecological balance is a source of pride And the ocean which sustains us is protected "
