Mission Statement

"Building Bridges for Elder Immigrants" Our mission is to bridge the gap between elderly immigrants and their communities. We recognize that they often face cultural isolation, language barriers, and the pressure to adapt, which can lead to a deep sense of cultural loss. Fostering genuine connections between generations. Support the preservation of traditional customs, languages, and practices that may have been lost through assimilation. We constantly remind ourselves, How can we both conform to cultural norms and adapt while safeguarding our cultural heritage.
