There was much excitement and many tears when we said farewell to 18 month old Vincent who returned to his home in the Solomon Islands at the end of October.

Vincent arrived in Canberra as a 2-month old baby, accompanied by his mother, Cosinta, in July 2019 requiring urgent surgery to connect his oesophagus to his stomach.  He was being fed through a canula into his stomach. 

It was expected that he would be in Australia for around 6-8 months.
