Migrant stories of Filipino young people in Auckland

“It makes for an inspired reading, and I believe it will greatly benefit Filipino youth who have made New Zealand their second home.” Kira Christianne D. Azucena. Ambassador. Embassy of the Philippines

In Batang Auckland, Filipino young people studying at Tangaroa College in Ōtara, worked with teacher-author David Riley to share personal stories of how they came to New Zealand, what they love and miss about the Philippines, some of the challenges they’ve faced in moving to a new country and their hopes and dreams for the future.

These are batang Auckland – Filipino young people in Auckland – and their voices are important and beautiful.

‘No matter what challenges we face, whether it’s natural disasters, economic struggles, or even personal hardships, Filipinos always find a way to rise above and support each other.’ (Akisha)
