Our task is to promote community within the diaspora and, in doing so, strengthen and support our members in their lives here in Sweden. We aim to one day establish a cultural center where people can turn for a sense of belonging, engage in a variety of activities, and gain knowledge that makes everyday life in Sweden easier.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
