Mafa (Micronesian & Australian Friends Association)

MAFA is an ANU group comprised of students, staff and family members living in Australia with an interest or background in the Micronesian region of the Pacific.

MAFA was founded in 2012 by postgraduate students Gonzaga Puas and Ingrid Ahlgren, and was chartered under the Australian National University's Student Association (ANUSA). Initially started as a social group to share ideas and love of Micronesian cultures, it's members hope it will grow to lend support to and encourage a larger number of incoming Micronesian students to higher educational institutes in Australia.
