Family friends Elin-Maria Eriksson and Ladan Abdourachid Ahmed will meet for the first time in Fagersta.

Through the Family Friend project, they will get to know each other together with their families, even if the men in the families are missing this time.

They meet at a playground to let the children play and then have coffee together.

Project manager Yousef Hussin is involved.

Ladan Abdourachid Ahmed says that her husband works, but will follow next time.

The barn comes from Djibouti in East Africa and speaks French, but can speak Swedish.

- I miss speaking Swedish in everyday life, so I hope it will get better.

I also want us to have dinner together, she says.

Elin-Maria Eriksson says that she has been looking forward to the meeting for a long time, and also her eldest son.

- He has said that he will meet his new friend to everyone he has met.

In the clip above, they talk about their expectations before the first meeting.

So was the first meeting - will it be a sequel?
