Special Olympics Fiji

Special Olympics is a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community. Special Olympics Fiji is recognized as a Founding Committee.

Special Olympics is a global organization that serves athletes with intellectual disabilities working with hundreds of thousands of volunteers and coaches each year. Since the establishment of Special Olympics in 1968, the number of people with and without intellectual disabilities who are involved with the organization has been growing, but the unmet need to reach more people with intellectual disabilities is staggering. A Founding Committee is a group of people who join together and apply to Special Olympics International for recognition and the right to use the name "Special Olympics" with the ultimate goal of being accredited as a Program. It’s at the local level--right here--where interested volunteers meet the athletes. That’s where the perceptions start to change and where the miracle of transformation takes place. Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Those activities give them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship.

The chief guest was Mr Setareki Macanawai, the CEO of Pacific Disability Forum who in his speech highlighted that disability is not our identity, your voice matters, we work together, learning knows no limits and let your light shine.

The theme for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is
