In the spirit of a tough sporting challenge, the 2009 Pacific Mini Games presented numerous obstacles for the Cook Islands, its people, and Government. And although the early path to ‘victory’ was very much an uphill battle I am pleased to say that those faced with the task of producing these Games did not shy away from the jobs at hand. Of course, those jobs were many and everyone from the tireless volunteers to the relentless efforts of the organisers are deserving of high praise. In the aftermath of such a major event, particularly for a small island nation like ours, the focus often falls on the nature of ‘how’ and ‘why’ we struggled with certain difficulties.

A draft paper was discussed at the executive committee meeting of ICEVI held in Kuala Lumpur in 2004 and it was refined on the basis of the suggestions of the members. In the process, the paper also accommodated ideas of the joint educational policy statement of the ICEVI and World Blind Union and also the joint educational policy of the CBM and Sight Savers. ICEVI took the lead to prepare the draft INGO strategy paper on education to increase the services to children with visual impairment at the country levels. Leading organisations such as the World Blind Union, CBM, Sight Savers International, Norwegian Assoiciation for the Blind and Partially Sighted, Overbrook School for the Blind, Perkins School for the Blind, Foundation Dark and Light Blindcare, etc., along with ICEVI will be meeting in Madrid in late 2005 to chalk out detailed plans of action to take this EFA campaign to the grassroot levels. The summary of the draft paper circulated to the international umbrella organisations and also to the Non-Governmental Development Organisations is presented here for the benefit of the readers of The Educator.
