Many Afghan and other refugees are waiting to be resettled. Refugee resettlement agencies are overwhelmed, and volunteers are needed to fill a critical need. A group of New York City area Buddhists has been forming to sponsor a refugee or refugee family, likely from Afghanistan, helping them to resettle in New York. We would partner with a refugee agency which would provide training and guidance. We need to assemble a team of 10 - 12 people who could meet regularly with and help the family. If you are interested please contact doshin@villagezendo.org and/or join a zoom meeting to discuss it:
