In 2016 KWANZ commissioned a short video following a cry of help from parents to assist them in educating teachers in what it’s like for a child to have arthritis. We raised $10,415 on Give-A-Little to make this possible. Thanks to everyone who donated to this campaign and to Jason Williamson from Neon Mammals who produced the video, the National Paediatric Rheumatology Team from Starship Hospital, staff from Royal Oak School, and our six KWANZ ‘stars’ who feature in the video.

KWANZ volunteers are available to join parents in approaching schools via staff meetings to show this film and discuss how a specific family can be supported in the school environment. We have also developed a ‘school video pack’ to leave with the school so that they have the resource available to educate new teachers in the future.
