Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia, Reimagining India with IndoGenius

Introduction

Kia ora! My name is Georgia. I am a Psychology student at the University of Waikato passionate in child and adolescent development. I work with youth struggling with MH and know this will be an amazing learning opportunity for my future working with Indian youth. I have always wanted to travel to India and am drawn in by the colour and vibrancy of the culture.
