A message to outgoing committee from the Chairperson Mrs Hamukale. Thank you for all the work you have done in moving OZALIWA forward. We will advance the agenda you began of becoming a very inclusive society.
We are lucky to belong to a community which always comes together in adversity or in community gatherings to celebrate our culture. We will aim to harness the already existing “togetherness” to work and interact together.

There are lots of Zambian social groupings in WA organising activities in silos! Our aim will be to work with everyone as a central conduit so that all Zambians and Friends of Zambians can benefit from these social interactions.
