Naomi Long MLA & ALGHOCHAK founders and management committee invite you to celebrate the launch of ALGHOCHAK Afghan Association Northern Ireland.
Light buffet and reception at the Long Gallery, Stormont.
The event will have short presentations, performances and speeches from ALGHOCHAK founders and special guests including messages from some of our Afghan friends in Afghanistan and the diaspora across the world.
Alghochak has a deep and beautiful meaning in Dari; a stone that is thrown into the water and used instead of a bridge is called Alghochak.
This poetic verse resonates with the meaning of the word:
Friends, let’s pass
It is enough to stand next to the runnel
Let’s throw a stone into the water
Let everyone understand that our sleep is complete (We have woken up)
