The Khulna Divisional Association in Buffalo, New York, started in 2023, is a group of families from Khulna now living in Buffalo. They want to bring people together since many families moved to Buffalo from different states but don't know each other. Even though they share the same origin, they feel a bit alone without extended family around.
Especially for kids without grandparents and not understanding family relationships, there's a sense of solitude. The association's goal is to create social bonds, making a supportive community like an extended family.
One big challenge is that younger people don't know much about their cultural heritage, traditions, and the importance of respecting elders. The association plans to fix this by providing a space for cultural exchange and learning. They want to teach about their roots, values, customs, and religious practices.
Their main goal is to make a friendly environment where people can connect with their cultural heritage and develop a deep appreciation for it. The association dreams of a lively community where shared experiences and cultural understanding create a strong sense of belonging. Ultimately, they want to represent and preserve the rich cultural heritage of the Khulna division in Buffalo, promoting unity, respect, and love among its members.
