Welcome To Shantalink

Welcome, In early 2013, when several Somali-American friends in Minneapolis discussed ways to give back to their community, they figured the most essential thing would be to contribute to the educational welfare of the Somali immigrant community’s youngsters. They brainstormed whether they should start tutoring programs for the struggling immigrant Somali students in the Twin Cities public schools, create mentoring opportunities or find ways to link the students with resources funded by local non-profit organizations and city programs — and how they would do so. The group of friends wanted to do something unique.
