Afghan Community Connection Program
Every Saturday on Zoom!
A program designed to serve Afghan community members.
It is a social activity related to Afghan culture and beyond as relationships matter where everyone wants to be connected with his family, neighbors and community. Refugees who have experienced extreme hardship such as been pulled out of their culture will find a familiar ambience of belonging and collectively teach and learn how to get involved in the new home and culture to ensure appropriate communication.
