This week I met a lot of students from South America, especially
from Peru and Columbia. It seemed like a good idea to do a special 'Who is this'
focusing on these students. Below are just a few of the students I interviewed.
If you've got any questions about studying in Sydney or Australia give us a
call. Cynthia, Andrea and Ayelen, who all work at Maewill, help to look after
South American students and it's great to see so many here at Maewill!
