celebrating and experiencing a diverse range of cultures

Fiwal organises several events of its own to provide a forum for its members. As well as the prestigious Biennial Conference covering current issues, we offer Seasonal Gala fund-raising events, often held jointly with Diplomatic missions.

The Biennial Spring lunch with distinguished speakers is held on alternate years to the Conference.

President’s monthly update

December 2024

Dear FIWAL Friends,

As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve shared throughout 2024 building friendships that span cultures and borders.

December is a time of joy, gratitude, and celebration and most of FIWAL’s Member Associations are organising very special end of year events. Do send us your photos to include in a Celebration Special Newsletter to go out mid-month.

As we enter this festive season, I encourage us all to pause and cherish the moments we share with loved ones. Whether you’re staying local or travelling to visit family and friends, may your holidays be filled with laughter, love, and the magical sparkle of the season. Let us also remember those less fortunate, as this time of giving provides an opportunity to extend our compassion and generosity even further.

Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be another exciting year for FIWAL and our member Associations. With engaging events and meaningful opportunities to connect, I look forward to meeting you all and strengthening our friendships.

Thank you for being an essential part of our vibrant FIWAL family, and I am honoured to serve as your President.

Wishing you and your families a joyful holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year!

Ameeta
President of FIWAL
