A decision to return to her home in Tonga after a long time in Australia has transformed her life.

Her new role as a sports administrator has inspired her to take her game and her culture to the world, and bring a world of learning home to the Pacific.

In this AustraliaPlus photo feature, we go inside the exciting life of Tonga National Shuttle Time Badminton coordinator and mother of three Peti Tupouniua, as she represents the Australian Aid-supported Pacific Sports Partnerships at one of world badminton’s biggest events, the Sudirman Cup. We hear from Peti, Badminton Oceania Development Manager Nadia Bleaken and feature photos of Peti as she showcases the Pacific to the world.
