In a summer dedicated to growth and innovation, our Manaaki Scholars traded their holidays for hands-on experiences across industries in New Zealand, tackling challenges with fresh perspectives and leaving a lasting impact. From working on decarbonization projects in Marlborough’s iconic wine region to collaborating with small businesses on creative problem-solving, these Pacific interns demonstrated the power of diversity and adaptability in today’s economic climate. This blog reflects on their journey, the collaborative network of host employers, and the ongoing role of Pacific voices in shaping sustainable success for Aotearoa and beyond.

In collaboration with Pagoda Projects and Ton Duc Thang University, PCF will be taking a group of Pacific women on an 8-week entrepreneurship and community internship experience in Ho Chi Minh City this November. This program is more than just an internship; it's a chance to immerse yourself in a new culture, build a professional network, and gain invaluable international business experience.

Xmas Greetings from the Team at Pacific Cooperation Foundation.
