About Our Association
A community built on heritage. Sustained by service. Looking forward, together.
OUR STORY
From a Small Gathering to a National Movement
The association was founded in 1998 by a small group of immigrant families who wanted to preserve their language, culture, and sense of belonging in a new country. What started in a living room has grown into a national community of more than 1,200 members across 18 chapters.
Through cultural festivals, scholarship programs, and grassroots development projects, we have honored where we come from while creating opportunity for the generations that follow.
Today our work is bigger than ever — and so is the community it serves.
OUR FOUNDATION
Mission, Vision & Values
To unite our people in the diaspora, preserve our cultural heritage, and contribute to the sustainable development of our home communities.
A thriving global community where every member feels at home, every tradition is honored, and every generation is empowered.
Unity, integrity, service, and stewardship. These four principles guide every decision we make and every program we launch.
