What our community is saying

I've enjoyed being a part of this organisation for the past few years.This organisation allows me and my family to practice Kerala customs, culture, and festivities while preserving their individuality

Connecting with the Malayali community in Timaru has felt like home. We cherish nurturing Kerala’s rich culture and traditions here and hope this unity continues to thrive.

I'm pleased that we can continue to develop and appreciate Kerala's rich culture and traditions here in New Zealand, which are really valuable, as well as the strong feeling of community. I hope that this feeling of oneness continues to grow.

I feel proud and happy to be a member of the Timaru Malayalee Association. Being part of this Malayalee group here makes it feel like you're in Kerala and helps you keep the memories of your country alive.

When we first met the Malayali community in Timaru, we were struck by their kindness, openness, and strong cultural spirit, which was unlike anything we'd seen before. It felt familiar right away.
