Help to fund India Study Trip with Massey University
Once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of Massey's Study Tour in my last year of my Bachelor Degree in Sociology and Social Policy.
Hawke's Bay
Currently in her final year of a Bachelor of Arts with Majors in both Sociology and Social Policy, Rohana Sergent has been provided with the opportunity to complete her degree with a study tour to India.
The tour which starts 26th November 2017, is being offered by Massey University as a ‘Special Topic’ with limited spaces. Rohana has been fortunate enough to have been selected. The selected students will travel to South India, including Bangalore and Mysore where they will explore sustainability, responsibility, and social enterprise. These are important global topics and Rohana knows the experiential learning gained will provide a better, deeper understanding which she can bring back to New Zealand and apply in her own context.
Rohana felt drawn to this experience in 2015 as a first-year student, believing this tour to India was her calling. Rohana feels passionately that the broader cultural awareness and appreciation she will gain will help her become a better global citizen in this diverse, and fast changing world. In an increasingly globalised world she feels the importance now more than ever to be more diversely connected and to have a better understanding and appreciation for others globally, so that we can become more adaptable, responsive, and engaged citizens. Rohana predicts the tour will help her to not only grow personally, but also in her studies moving forward with her plan to return to India to undertake research towards her Masters.
What stands in the way now, is funding. As a mature student raising a family, there is always that financial burden of increasing debt. Rohana has been actively raising funds and has set up a ‘Give a Little’ page.

Wow, what an amazing effort from you all - Thank you so much. It is now only 8 weeks to go until the big travel day and although the deposit has been paid and flights secure there is still a lot of saving going on as final payment is yet to be made. Just to let you know I have extended the date closer to the time as it was set to expire in a couple of days.
