    Tanglaw Connect Ep 2 - Garry Galvez

    We sit down with Garry Galvez, a Chemistry and Science Educator at Morrinsville College, and hear the inspiring story of his family's journey to Aotearoa New Zealand. With his wife, Rio, Garry moved to New Zealand in August 2019, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. Armed with a dream and determination, Garry arrived on a Study Visa to pursue a PhD in Chemical Education at the University of Waikato through the university's Doctoral Scholarship Program, while Rio joined him on a partnership-based Open Work Visa. From the challenges of starting over in a new country to navigating life during a global pandemic, Garry and Rio share the lessons, sacrifices, opportunities, and milestones that shaped their migrant journey. Today, they are proud Permanent Residents of New Zealand and have built a life they once only dreamed of. Join us as we hear their story of courage, perseverance, faith, and hope — and discover what it truly means to create a home away from home.
