Somali Bantu Community of San Diego

On March 5th 2004 Omar Abdulkadir Eno Director of Somali Bantu projects and Daniel
J Vanlahman Deputy director of Somali Bantu projects came to us and encouraged us
to open an office for the Somali Bantu Community of San Diego. From march 5th 2004
to July 13th of 2004 we have been preparing to open a Somali Bantu community
office. At last we are proud to announce the opening of the Somali Bantu community
office in San Diego. On Tuesday July 13th with the generous assistance of the alliance
for African assistance in providing us with temporary office space we hosted a grand
opening celebration to inaugurate the launch of the Somali Bantu community of San
Diego. In this ceremony were many attendees such as officers from the state
department, members of the International Organization Migration (IOM). In the
ceremony chief executive and Board Chairman/chief of finance gave a speech
concerning the history of the Somali Bantu, and their plans to promote self-sufficiency
within the community, which the participants received with high spirits.

Our hope is that the steps that we have taken will encourage other refugees especially
the Somali Bantu’s that have been resettled in other parts of the United States of
America
