Noa'ia 'e mauri and greetings from beautiful British Columbia, Canada

The Hugag'esea club will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this Rotuma Day and we would like to invite all those who will be in the area or have wanted to visit Canada, to join us in this joyous occasion.

Twenty years ago, our parents and elders got together to form a group with the sole purpose to teach us, their children, the Rotuman. a culture and the importance of family.

Because of their love and commitment, we have benefited immensely and have been given the gift of what it means to be Rotuman. We are eternally grateful to them.

If you would like to join us in celebrating Rotuma Day please drop us a line at: hugagesea@gmail.com

We will be taking it back to where it all began, Nanaimo, BC at the Nanaimo Curling Club on Saturday, May 18th 2013.

For more information please contact us at the above email address. We look forward to seeing you there!

Hanisiof,

Tamara Aisake (Secretary of the Hugagesea Club)


From Agatha Ferei (12 November 2011)

Our learning centre, 'IPA edu-Innovative Services in Nasinu, Suva is currently assisting Radio Fiji One with their Rotuman Programme on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month.

We would like to attract more Rotumans of the younger generation to the programme and have made a few changes to the broadcast. One of the changes includes the use of both Rotuman and English languages, the sharing of news bulletins from Rotumans around the world, the use of email and phone contacts as well as the Radio Fiji One website for members to log in. We encourage members of the public to send in their comments, news, activities, dedications and any topical issues they would like us to consider for the programme. It's a 90 mins programme per recording

Noa'ia 'e Mauri! My name is Henry Alfred, grandson of Jieni and Fagmaniua Fabiano from Maftoa, Itumuta and Faga and Matapule Alfred from Itumuta and Noatau. I grew up in New Zealand and migrated to Australia in 2003 with my family. I've worked in a well-known automotive industry in Auckland and Sydney for several years and decided to open my own business at the beginning of the year in automotive mechanical engineering. I graduated with a Certificate in Automotive Engineering at UNITEC Institute of Technology in Auckland, NZ and recently at TAFE-Sydney, Australia in automotive vehicle bodybuilding, fabrication and vehicle body designs. To the Sydney Rotuman community and friends requiring automotive repairs, please feel free to contact me.
