‘I have found that teaching remotely is much more than my role in the profession. It has been about immersing myself in different cultures, learning things about our country that you would not discover elsewhere and fostering relationships with people who light a fire inside you. It is because of this that a little piece of my heart was left in both communities.’ – Tash
