The Albanian-American Association of Ulqin (
History
Inspired by the nonprofit association, Albanian Roots, The Albanian-American Association of Ulqin was founded by Xhemal Lanica, along with Lemo Goga and Can Duli in Staten Island, NY on February 13, 2022.[1]
Mission
The Albanian-American Association of Ulqin is deeply committed to promoting cultural activities and movements that celebrate the diverse heritage of Albanian culture. Through a range of events and initiatives, including cultural festivals, educational workshops, and exhibitions, the organization provides a platform for Albanian-Americans to connect, collaborate, and showcase their cultural traditions. These efforts play a crucial role in fostering a sense of identity and belonging among community members, as well as preserving Albanian heritage in the United States and Montenegro for future generations.
Activities
A significant aspect of The Albanian-American Association of Ulqin's work involves organizing various events such as network gatherings and picnics, which serve as opportunities for community building and fostering meaningful connections among Albanian-Americans. The Albanian-American Association of Ulqin orchestrated, along with former City Councilman Mark Gjonaj and other Albanian-American associations, the largest Albanian picnic in the history of Staten Island; which gathered over 6,000 Albanian-Americans from all 5 boroughs of New York City and New Jersey.[5]
Furthermore, the organization is dedicated to assisting with projects in Ulcinj, Montenegro, including crowdfunding campaigns to provide aid for individuals facing health-related concerns and initiatives for the restoration of religious and historical monuments. One example is a town hall meeting organized in honor of former Prime Minister of Montenegro and fellow
In addition to its cultural and community endeavors, The Albanian-American Association of Ulqin is actively engaged in humanitarian initiatives aimed at supporting Albanians in need, both locally and internationally. Utilizing a network of delegates, advisers, and analysts, the organization coordinates activist campaigns and fundraising efforts to address pressing issues facing Albanian communities in Montenegro and the wider Western Balkan region[17].
