We are the most thinly scattered even among diaspora Oromos. We need a  space of own to come together with elders elsewhere. Back home our role would have been to educate the youngest ones. Here, our grand children don't even speak our language. Our children don't have time for us. They have to run to support their families. Here, elders don't have the authority and respect we have back home. The only place we can find what we have lost in terms of respect and authority is among ourselves in our own space. Let us come together to enjoy each other's company, to reminisce, to reflect on the past, present and future, and to explore our role in this strange environment.
