We’re currently at another cycle of information gathering at Kawama. The first round identified as priorities an urgent need for additional housing, extra classrooms for the school for orphans and vulnerable young children and a water tower to improve sanitation in the area. So the COINS Foundation President was eager to visit to get face-to-face community feedback and fundamental insight into what the urgent day-to-day issues are. This information will, as ever, prove invaluable and has already added projects to the first phase of our Inclusive Community Development Plan. The most significant of these will be a community-based physiotherapy and family support project for disabled young people in the region.

Also visiting, was Mr Sullivan's daughter Lucy. "This doesn't stop with me and my business, I was proud to bring Lucy with me because any meaningful development will take more than one generation to achieve." Mr Sullivan continued, "Only by long-term commitment and investment, not only of resources but also of people, will we be able to bring about real change in the communities with which we work."
