In Mangere, at the Malaeola community centre, anyone who's anybody in the Pacific Islands communities is here. It's the launch of Lu'i Ola's latest offerings - a DVD and mentoring package that's got a message for the Church - embrace disability issues.

Minnie Baragwanath is the strategic disability advisor with Auckland City Council. She says that key to a successful outreach to disabled people within Pacific communities has been the part played by the region's territorial authorities.

We also hear from Fatima Akehurst, from the Tongan community and one of the members of the Lu'i Ola steering group.
