Arriving: Auckland Airport, New Zealand
Ntombi arrived in New Zealand today (27th of May 2017) where she will spend almost 3 months interacting with other like-minded (Maths mad) people, site seeing, learning about life overseas, and preparing for university. She will also visit and learn from organisations and groups that are involved in community building and social responsibility, and knowledge gained will help create a similarly themed project for Ntombi to undertake back home while she studies in Bulawayo.
