Dear Owia Reader,
We hope we find you well.
After two months of irregular publishing caused by platform glitches from a surge in new subscribers, the Owia Bulletin is back!
To better accommodate our growing audience, we have transitioned to Substack, a platform that offers incredible advantages for our growing community of readers. You can now easily engage with our content by liking, commenting, sharing, and restacking our posts. Plus, Substack features an excellent, ad-free app designed with user safety in mind.
You will definitely notice some great improvements from our previous editions. Enjoy this Bulletin, and please share it and encourage others to subscribe!
Our next event
Join us for our next event: the Wazee Day Indaba! Scheduled for 9 October 2026 at 2:00 pm SAT/CAT, this year’s indaba is proudly co-organised with the Association of Schools of Social Work in Africa (ASSWA).
First launched in 2013, this vital annual event continues to champion the wellbeing of older persons, from a social work and developmental perspective. Following the success of our 2025 session where Dr Emmanuel Bukajumbe led a powerful discussion on dementia risks, symptoms, and care under the theme “Educate, empower, prevent Dementia!!” We look forward to another impactful gathering.
The theme, topic and presenters for Wazee 2026 will be announced soon. Stay tuned.
