Mālō e lelei everyone! 🤩

We are excited to share that the Otago Tongan Students Association has taken first place at the ‘Amatakiloa conference this year! 🥇🙌🏽 A heartfelt shout-out to VUWTSA for hosting the event in Wellington, and to NZTTSA for organising this incredible opportunity. We also extend our gratitude to AUTTA for being part of the event and contributing to its success✨

Our victory is a testament to the strength we drew from our faith 🙏🏽 Reflecting on 2 Timothy 1:7—“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control”— we were reminded of the divine strength that guided us through this journey🙌🏽

We also want to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing flatties, friends, our supportive community, mentors and everyone who has been with us every step of the way🥹 Your encouragement and unwavering belief in us were crucial to our success🫶🏽

Thank you for standing with us and for keeping our faith strong. Here’s to more shared successes and blessings ahead! 🌟
