Emma Puloka and Professor Russell Taylor

It's no mean feat for a young person to contribute towards rebuilding a nation. But Emma Puloka has a big picture in her sights. Winning a four year biological science scholarship at Canterbury University will help her to achieve a dream of improving the ecology of her native Tonga and the lives of the Tongan people.

Producer Sonia Yee also meets the man who was instrumental in making the scholarship possible- Russell Taylor.
