Igbo wu Igbo Ekelem unu, Ndewo nu Umunnem.

My Most Beloved UIU Dallas Family,

As we joyously embrace the new month, I extend a warm welcome to each of you, cherished ​members to the vibrant tapestry of our Igbo community. Let this message resonate as a beacon ​of optimism and genuine appreciation for the journey that lies ahead.

In the spirit of shared aspirations, our vision for the year is grounded in a resolute commitment ​to elevate Igbo excellence through a clear tripod focus: Unity, Community Empowerment, and ​the Preservation of our cherished Igbo culture in the diaspora.

Unity: Together, we are stronger. Our strength lies in the bonds that tie us, transcending ​geographical boundaries. This year, let us fortify our unity, drawing inspiration from the rich ​threads of resilience that weave through our collective history.

Community Empowerment: Empowering each member is at the heart of our mission. We ​pledge to provide opportunities for growth, ensuring that every individual, irrespective of ​background, finds avenues to flourish within our community. Your success is our success, and ​together, we shall prosper.

Preservation of Igbo Culture in Diaspora: Our cultural identity is a treasure we carry with ​pride. In the diaspora, let us embark on a journey to preserve and promote our unique Igbo ​heritage. Through cultural exchange programs and collaborative initiatives, we will strengthen ​the roots that connect us across continents.

As we navigate the days and months ahead, let optimism be our guiding light. Our collective ​endeavors are poised to define a future marked by the brilliance of Igbo Excellence. Your ​participation, your ideas, and your passion are invaluable, and I am confident that, together, we ​will script a narrative of success.

Thank you for being an integral part of our community. May this year bring prosperity, unity, and ​the fulfillment of shared dreams. Here's to a year of accomplishments and shared victories.

Warm regards,

Keside Obielu

UIU Dallas President

Each quarter we will be focusing on a cause that affects our community here in Dallas or ​back home in Igboland. For the first Quarter for Cause, we will be focusing on

“Investing in Our Community”.

We are thrilled to announce our ongoing partnership with Dallas Life as we remain ​committed to Investing in our Community for our Quarter for Cause initiative. Dallas Life, a ​faith-based homeless recovery center, plays a vital role in providing shelter and support for ​those in need. Housing up to 500 individuals each night, Dallas Life ensures that all guests ​receive three balanced meals every day, 365 days a year.

One remarkable aspect of Dallas Life's services is their provision of individual family rooms, ​catering to married couples and parents with children, offering them a safe haven during ​challenging times.

Save the Date: Saturday, February 10th, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

We invite you to mark your calendars for Saturday, February 10th, as we come together to ​make a tangible difference in the lives of those served by Dallas Life. Join us for a day of ​active participation, as we engage in donation sorting and foster creativity by crafting arts ​and crafts with the children currently residing in the shelter.
