WHY? WHAT? HOW?
Previous generations of elders worked hard to establish Guru Ghar all over UK, they created the foundations
To build on those foundations, initiatives to provide facilities and historical references for next generation are now happening all over UK
Leeds is one of the biggest cities in UK. Why cant we be a Sikh hub for the North?
How do we build on the foundations and provide the facilities and the history for generations to come?
