To all Eritreans in Minnesota,
The Eritrean Community Center of Minnesota is hosting a special event this
coming weekend (Saturday, March 26th 2011) to welcome Eritrean immigrants
that recently arrived to Minnesota. Please join us as we meet and greet our
compatriots who traveled thousands of miles and crossed insurmountable
obstacles – just as we had done years earlier - to join us in America.
We hope to have a community round table discussion to share our collective
immigration experiences with our newly arrived countrymen. We will also
attempt to alleviate the confusion and fears our brothers and sisters might
have which is associated with immigration, new culture and language.
We will need your participation to welcome our new community members, make
them comfortable help them in whatever way we can.
There is no cost associated with this event and everyone is welcome. Free
Food and drinks will also be served.
