Daniel Kumar
Youth Worker
Daniel was born in Auckland and lived in Tuvalu, Fiji and Australia, and now calls Wellington home.
Daniel was a part of a BGI’s kaupapa, Te Ahi o nga Rangatahi and that’s how he became connected to BGI. During this programme Daniel learnt the importance of youth representation and speaking on things that are important to you. In 2022 BGI offered Daniel a scholarship to study at Praxis and through this he has learnt to be able to better support rangatahi and aims to empower other rangatahi to speak on matters that are important to them. At BGI Daniel is programme coordinator for Te Ahi and helps out with programmes like Journeys, Sports Break and Paper Bag Lunch.
Outside of BGI Daniel loves creative expression including dancing, random painting, hanging out with mates, being in the water, music and long walks in the sun.
