 My name is Jenny Fawate and I'm from the Solomon Islands and I study at the Victoria University and over the last years I've been doing diploma in community development. I think the best thing about studying in Australia is I get to build a lot of new networks and it helps me a lot to broaden my knowledge, but more importantly, given that Australia is close to home, I find that that is one of the reasons for me coming and learning from here. I've met so many, many friends, friends from the different countries, both in the developing countries and also the developed countries, but as well from different agencies, from the non-for-profit organizations and even the local governments here, my contribution to my country in terms of development is in relation to the work that I've been doing prior to coming here. Help women in my country especially, where issues to do with economic empowerment and as well as the challenging issues that my country is facing. For example, issues like eliminating violence against women. It's a very major issue in my country and that is an area that from studying here in Australia I was able to go learn from what's happening here. I'll go by and share it with my other organizations in my country and the government as well and see how does that knowledge and experience I gained would be able to help my people by in my country so that they can see the potential and also develop our country in terms of having to improve on some of the things that we think that we are not able to meet.
