UAA-DFW is a wonderful medium of interaction and communication, it is an avenue for transmitting information, it provides a wonderful ground for meeting potential spouses, keeping in touch with old-time-school-friends. It avails chance for the young ones to get acquainted with and appreciate their cultural norms - which they would otherwise never know. UAA-DFW is equally an avenue for meeting other Africans brothers and sisters from other African countries as they join us in several of our functions.
