We're back!
Apologies to all for such a long absence!
As many already know, the agency experienced a bulge in arrivals during the final two months of FY09 (hence our lack in postings). We had over 100 people come to New Hampshire in August and September!
Here are some updates- hope you enjoy and share!
Wonderful story about NH refugees featured on NECN
IRC's updated list of books and films about refugees and U.S. resettlement
President Obama signs Presidential Determination
"Cover Your Cough" poster in Nepali, Somali, Arabic, French . . .
Concerned about bed bugs? FAQ, photos and other helpful information at this site
Many Bhutanese clients from Nepal just observed Dashain . . . learn more here
New American Services is also looking for preexisting social groups who are willing to be trained as volunteers and work with refugee families. If you're interested in giving your time to help a new refugee family through the resettlement experience, please contact Abigail at (603) 224.8111 or at astoutimore@lssne.org.
Also, the blanket drive has been extended through the end of October. Please consider donating new or gently-used, heavy blankets, comforters and quilts to the refugee resettlement program.
Did you take a fun trip with refugee clients this summer? To the park or beach? Did you try something new together? If so, send in your pictures for a future post to astoutimore@lssne.org.
As always, we appreciate your reading and sharing these resources and tales with your friends, family and others who care about our refugee friends. Help us share the story!
