Finnish- South African Friendship Society
Our Society has now for over 13 years worked to promote the
mutual cooperation of the two countries in different sectors
such as trade, education, culture, the arts, nature and tourism.
Our society is a non-political organization
with no political affiliations. We leave it to the professional
politicians to deal with political issues. We deal directly
with people.
We promote our work by fairs, exhibitions,
visits to schools and clubs etc. We keep in contact with our
members with our newsletter, the AMANZI, meetings and by our
internet pages. We have also yearly participated in the MATKA-travel
fair in Helsinki and also participated in the International
Cultural Centre Caisa's fairs.
We
have over 200 members. We have a small library of videos,
dia-sets and books that our members can borrow.
In
South Africa we make our exotic country known eg. by exhibitions
in libraries and have also visitred various societies and
clubs to tell about Finland. We also co-operate with the local
Finnish Society (Suomalainen Seura) and our chairman, Mr Hannes
Ignatius is actively in contact with Finns living in South
Africa.
