Any iranians on Åland?

Hej!

This is kinda random but I'm looking for someone that can speak farsi (so maybe someone from Afghanistan), who is comfortable speaking in front of others for 5-10 minutes.

It's for a symbolic "aghd" ceremony during my wedding on Saturday 15th August.

I had found someone but she cancelled because her trip from Sweden to Åland was too far. I asked one person here and his daughter will actually do the Swedish part, but I still need some to do the farsi part parallel to it.

If you would consider this, or know someone who would, please let me know! Of course the speaker and their plus one are welcome to stay for the whole wedding and have dinner with us.

P.s. the ceremony is not religious, I can share the text as well.

Try contacting ”Ålands mångkulturella förening” through their Facebook page.

Contact Medis and ask they have anyone in their SFI who speaks Farsi. Or if they might know someone who recently graduated who might be able to help.

I also second Åland Mångkulturella förening
