"With ‘Fight for Tuvalu’ I am hoping to make turn ripples into waves across the globe"

Why do I care so much about the existence of Tuvalu? Being a Nauruan born, New Zealand raised Tuvaluan has had it’s fair share of challenges.

Growing up as a Kiwi, in a small town with majority of the population being Caucasian, I struggled with my own identity and felt like I didn’t belong. Once the Tuvaluan community began to expand in my home town and I started to become accustomed to my own culture, the love and pride for my own culture grew too! To question whether or not my home land would be there once I get the opportunity to go breaks my heart.
