The United States is going to resettle 50,000 Afghan evacuees in the next year with around 500 people coming to Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The evacuee resettlement is being coordinated through designated social service agencies. One of those agencies is the International Institute of New England. IINE is a nonprofit organization with a long history of assisting immigrants to our country. On Wednesday, November 10th at 7:30 pm the League of Women Voters of Concord-Carlisle, the Immigration Justice Task Force of First Parish in Concord, Kerem Shalom, and the Afghan Welcome Team of TriCon Church will be sponsoring a Zoom conversation with a representative of the International Institute of New England (IINE). This is an opportunity to learn how the resettlement effort is organized and ways in which volunteers can help with short- and long-term tasks.
