The International Students Ambassador Meet 2016 kicked off last Wednesday, February 24, bringing together new students from different countries, their school providers and the Uncle/Aunties—dedicated and committed community leaders who volunteer to provide support and advice to the ISA members. They meet once a month.
The International Students Ambassador Group was established in 2014 with the aim to connect new international students with the country, and their schools with the police to inform them about the prevention messages to reduce crime and victimisation.
The role of an ISA member is to share and disseminate the monthly crime prevention message to their fellow students to help them be safe. The event was graced by acting Acting High Commissioner from the Indian High Commission His Excellency Mr Sandeep Sood, Consul Fang and Consul Chen from the Peoples Republic of China Consulate in Auckland and Consular Agent Laila Faden from the Saudi Arabian Consulate.
The meeting commenced at 5:30 p.m. at the Auckland Central Police Station hosted by Senior Sergeant Marty Brown, Constable Neil Pimenta and Jessica Phuang. The guests presented Acknowledgement Certificates to the ISA members, school providers, and the Uncles/Aunties, who were in this programme for 2015. Around 70 students and school providers participated in the meeting to discuss the issues faced by international students and what measures they can take to build a secure environment.
Through the collaborative efforts of ISA and these dedicated groups of people, the ISA programme has been able to support hundreds of international students.
For the month of February, the message was on Reporting Crime. Officer Jessica Phuang and Sergeant Marty Brown explained how to call 111 for emergency matters, what actually happens when one calls the number and reporting crime anonymously through Crimestoppers. A light meal was served during the meeting where the students got a chance to interact with the Uncles/Aunties and police officers at the venue.
International students who wish to join the ISA programme can contact Jessica Phuang by sending an e-mail to jessica. phuang@police.govt.nz or call on 021 1920935.
