On April 2, the most recent Talanoa Tupuaga course (part of the ANCAD LiiFT Aotearoa learning framework) for groups in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu area, celebrated their accomplishments at the Māngere Arts Centre.

We heard from several groups as to what they learned and how it has made a huge difference to their charitable efforts. The aim of the course was to empower Pacific community organisations to grow, connect and thrive.

ANCAD and lead facilitator Clark Tuagalu (Pacific Capability Lead) coordinated the several workshops and presenters on different topics in the lead up to this celebratory time.

ANCAD thanks and acknowledges the supporters of this programme, including Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, and primary funder, the Department of Internal Affairs.

Fa’afetai tele lava ma fa’amālō le galulue – thank you all for your contribution and commitment.
