Asima Silva was invited to speak to school staff about the current problem of Islamophobia in our society, how to identify it, and how to address the problem. She and Ahmad Abojarajeh, Global Compliance Engineer to Avery Dennison, met with the principal and staff of Davis Hill School recently and will plan to meet soon with teachers and staff at Mayo School in Holden and the Wachusett District High School in the near future. Plans are also being developed for a presentation at Glenwood School in Rutland.

Donations requested for refugees
Refugee families are coming into Worcester communities at the rate of 25 to 35 persons per month. Half of these are children. Ascentria Alliance is helping these families to settle, and although they are given some initial assistance, more help is needed. Donations of personal items, like toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, lotions, toilet paper, tissues, etc. are requested. At our meeting on March 5 Margaret Watson will be collecting any items you might like to donate and take them to the Ascentria staff. Thanks so much.
