RETIRED TEACHERS, EXPERIENCED VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR CHILDREN IN WHITE PLAINS A recently arrived Afghan family has 2 young sons who are unable to register for school because they are not yet in permanent housing. Volunteers will use a 1st and 2nd grade homeschooling curriculum. If interested, please contact Jane Dixon at lilrhodie@gmail.com. SYNAGOGUE MEMBERS BACK AFGHAN REFUGEE FAMILY Beth El members have committed to supporting a refugee family from Afghanistan that arrived in New York on April 3rd. Beth El has partnered with Westchester Reform Temple to help this family, sharing the financial and volunteer commitment between the two congregations. The group needs volunteers to ensure the family’s smooth transition. Additional volunteers are needed to teach English to the family in person or online (no experience necessary), take them to critical appointments and on day trips, and help find jobs for family members. Used smart phones are still needed, and financial donations can go to Global Refugee Initiative Fund. To join this effort, please contact Blair Selber atblairselber@gmail.com
