Twinning
The term ‘Twinning’ as used by the Society of St Vincent de Paul means the pairing of a Conference in one country with a particular Conference in another country. It is the way the St Vincent de Paul Society addresses the greater needs of Conferences in developing countries by linking them with a ‘Twin’ Conference in a developed country.
Through Twinning members support one another spirituality, financially and through mutual encouragement. Conferences in New Zealand are Twinned with Conferences in Sri Lanka, Tokelau, Samoa and Tonga.
The Twinning Officer ensures that the Twinning relationship is maintained in accordance with the International Twinning Manual – you can download the Manual here http://www.ozanet.org Twinning is our small contribution to world peace and understanding through cultural exchange among peoples.
