Their bright blue eyes stand out so gorgeously against the brown of their skin, and can hardly be found among other people on the island.

Based on the Pacific Press Agency, their blue eyes are caused by a rare genetic disorder called the Waardenburg Syndrome, which may be evident at birth and it’s range and severity may vary.
