University of Winnipeg student’s blogpost on Otago
Anna Huard and pupils from te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ōtepoti.
Dunedin might be at the “bottom of the world” but we still have people prepared to make their way down here. One such person was Anna Huard, a second-year student in the University of Winnipeg’s MDP (Master’s in Development Practice) programme. While here Anna spent time at Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ōtepoti, and with people from Te Tumu.
