DR LANCE O'SULLIVAN NOW TAKING 12 KIWI STUDENTS TO UN DUE TO 'CALIBRE' OF APPLICATIONS
After securing additional funding for the trip, the 2014 New Zealander of the Year is now taking 12 students with him for the meeting on April 14.
"We started off with the idea of just taking two but we couldn't stick with that because of the calibre and volume of the applications," Dr O'Sullivan said.
Auckland University law student Tauawhi Bonilla was one of the 12 selected and says he's particularly interested in gaining insight into how indigenous languages have been rejuvenated around the world.
"For me personally it's probably the language. I know a lot of people will be doing environment and stuff like that but for me it will be language and language revitalisation,"
"Us Maori we have a lot to do to get to where we want to be but eventually we'll get there I think if we take some ideas from other people and from other indigenous cultures.".....
