Perfect weekend for the annual UNKLESA picnic. Done usually either just before the AGM (26th October 2026) so that the board can plan this get together for spouses and get to know a lot of new staff as well.

The kids were fully entertained — our clown was active thru out and soon after the cake came out, the songs changed.

Until next year!

Mechanics of Wealth is more than a conversation about money. It is a movement towards greater financial clarity, confidence and intentionality.

For globally mobile families, wealth is rarely straightforward. Countries change. Currencies shift. Careers evolve. One partner may pause their career while the other continues working. Financial decisions often span borders, systems and different stages of life.

This invites us to ask a bigger question:
"Are our financial decisions helping us build the life we truly want?"

Our recent Money, Mobility & Meaning session with Daniel Alberts, Founder of Coherence Works, created a valuable space for UNKLESA members to ask questions, challenge assumptions and reflect on the relationship between their money and their lives.

Because wealth is not only about what we accumulate.

It is about what that wealth makes possible.

Thank you to Daniel and everyone who joined this meaningful conversation.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us on June 5th for The Diplomatic Mingle at the stunning The Lord Erroll, Gigiri. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for inspiring conversations, incredible networking, and a vibrant community spirit.

We were truly honored to host our Guest of Honor, the UNON Director‑General, alongside an extraordinary gathering of diplomats, professionals, and partners.

From the curated hors d’oeuvres and the thrill of our raffle draws, the energy throughout the evening was simply unmatched.

📸 Pechakucha Session Highlights

What an inspiring and engaging session!

Today, participants came together for a hands-on PechaKucha workshop, exploring the art of storytelling through concise and impactful presentations. Guided by our facilitator Sameer Kermalli, attendees learned how to transform ideas into compelling narratives using the PechaKucha format of 20 slides × 20 seconds.

The room was filled with creativity, collaboration, and confidence as participants developed their own presentation concepts, exchanged feedback, and discovered new ways to communicate ideas effectively.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the energy and enthusiasm that made this session a success. Special appreciation to our facilitator for sharing valuable insights and practical techniques that will help participants become more effective communicators.

We look forward to seeing the powerful stories and presentations that emerge from today's learning experience.
