Navigating university life as an international student is difficult enough, but Read more
Mae bod yn fyfyriwr rhyngwladol yn anodd. Heb os, symud i Gaerdydd o Jakarta – y man lle cefais fy magu – oedd y profiad a gododd y mwyaf o fraw arnaf erioed, gan y bu’n rhaid i mi addasu i rywle anghyfarwydd lle nad oeddwn yn adnabod unrhyw un nac yn gwybod unrhyw beth Read more

I mi, un o’r ffyrdd mwyaf cadarnhaol o archwilio’r ochr gymdeithasol a Read more
