"Stories from Around the World" @ Bennington Free Library: All are welcome to an afternoon of "Stories from Around the World" Saturday, April 29 at 2 p.m. For almost a year Bennington has been welcoming new neighbors from Afghanistan. This event is a chance to learn more about the refugee resettlement process, hear stories from refugees and volunteers about the relationships that have been built through resettlement, and enjoy some Afghan food. In addition to the main program in the Library's Rotary Room, there will be Afghan-inspired kite-making & painting activities in the Children's Room.
This event is co-sponsored by the Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC), one of ten refugee resettlement agencies that operate throughout the United States. For more information contact Jack Rossiter-Munley, Case Manager/Interim Office Lead for ECDC by email: jrossitermunley@ecdcus.org or by calling the Library: 802-442-9051.
