Educational and Charitable Function

The charitable function of AASLV has mainly centered in donations made to other nonprofit organizations.  AASLV budget is limited at this time.  However, we welcome your ideas and suggestions.

From educational stand point, AASLV has established an Assyrian book section at the West Sahara Library.  Donation of Assyrian magazines and publications has been made to the library.  We have issued educational newsletters, and created this website. AASLV has started a project named "Tale", Assyrian Heritage/language/history classes, and language contests is being formed in 2004.  In addition, AASLV sponsors cultural events and invites guest speakers in subject related to Assyrian History or heritage. AASLV established a scholarship program detailed below.


We are looking for volunteers to teach Assyrian traditional dances to young children in our community.  If you can help, please contact us.

If you are an employer and have a job opening, or if you are an unemployed person looking for a position, please e-mail us your job requirements or your resume.  We have had some success in placing qualified job seekers with employers.  We want to help.
