Kawanua migrants who are studying, working and living in New Zealand realise the importance of maintaining and nurturing familial nature, mutual respect and mutual understanding with spirit and noble values of "Si Tou Timou Tumou Tou" (one lives to give life to others), "Mapalus" (mutual aid) and "Torsamba" (torang samua basudara - we are all family).
Based on that visions and blessings and the love of God Almighty, we decided to form an incorporated Indonesian society to unite all Kawanua family all over New Zealand with the Statutes and Bylaws that can be seen in:
