Gatherings
Once in a year we get together to celebrate our culture and unity, and you are welcome to explore and experience our cultural ways of life such as dancing, traditional attires, language, food, etc.
So often we also get together to discuss our growth as a community and when there are milestone achievements and social occasions within the community.
