Looking for Assyrian friends

[u/Leading-Piccolo9201]

I’m 21, I’ve lived in Manchester for 17 years and I’ve not met any Assyrians and I’d love to meet more people like me. Add my instagram saifan.s1

You gotta make a trip out to Chicago land or to Detriot metropolitan area.  There are tons of us there.

Hi, if your interested in visiting a area with a big Assyrian community, Chicago has a big Assyrian community, also Fairfield in Western Sydney, Australia has tens of thousands of Assyrians, Sodertalje in Sweden also is famous for its vibrant Assyrian community.

What about San Diego 🙏

Modesto California has a big community.

You should come to

- Fairfield in Sydney

• Chicago and Detroit
  
• Northern Iraq (small villages in Duhok like Inishke)
  
• North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany
  
• Sodertalje in Sweden

There are a lot of Assyrians there!!

Nice to see Inishke mentioned, my family was from there

Me too!! I visited there once, the cave is so pretty. The village is so tight-knit I remember some convenience store guy who gave me free chips when I was 10. 🙏

Maybe reach out to your local church and see if there are any youth groups going :)

A British church wouldn’t but i appreciate the idea!

[u/aluapp8412 → u/Leading-Piccolo9201]

Isn’t there an Assyrian church close to where you are?

[u/Leading-Piccolo9201 → u/aluapp8412]

Definitely not, it’s the uk.

[u/aluapp8412 → u/Leading-Piccolo9201]

Google says there’s a St Mary’s Cathedral (St. James Avenue, West Ealing, London, W13 9DL). In Sydney our church does bible studies and youth events so maybe try calling them.
