Melody, a previous participant of the My Voice, My Journey Program, has embarked on an exciting new chapter on student exchange to New Zealand.
Having been a part of the program, Melody gained the confidence and resilience needed to step out of her comfort zone and thrive in unfamiliar environments.Throughout her time in New Zealand, Melody has had the opportunity to immerse herself in the Maori culture, learning about its rich traditions and customs. She has also embraced new challenges, such as canyoning, with enthusiasm and determination.
We are incredibly proud of Melody and her achievements and we have no doubt that she will continue to learn and grow as she embraces these new experiences. As Melody sets off on this exciting chapter of her life, the entire team at My Voice My Journey sends their best wishes for her journey in New Zealand. We look forward to welcoming her back to Yuin Country, Batemans Bay and we are excited to have her join the My Voice My Journey team as a youth mentor. Her experiences abroad will undoubtedly enrich our program and empower our future First Nation Leaders.
“When I think about My Voice My Journey I think about all the fun i have had, the adventures i have got to experience as well as the laughs we had, but, one of the key things i think about is how much i have grown. I have become so much more confident, brave and learnt to realise that sticking up for something you care about is okay.”
