Tea is acutely aware that she has the capacity and responsibility to make a real difference for her country, Kiribati. Being small in land mass and with over three quarters of its population living in the capital, Tarawa, overcrowding has led to high levels of unemployment and poverty, poor sanitation and hygiene, and high premature mortality rates.
Tea would like to use her opportunities in Australia to investigate solutions to these issues and determine viable relocation and other options.
Tea hopes to advocate for Kiribati at international and regional forums, and to ensure the country can achieve the sustainable development it urgently requires.
