Purpose of Meeting
More than 110 million individuals have been forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, violence or human rights violations. From the war in Ukraine to ongoing conflict in Syria, to climate shocks and economic turmoil in East Africa and Latin America - the need is greater than ever. If you’d like to learn how YOU can help refugee families restart their lives in towns across the state of Connecticut, join IRIS for an information session on Refugee Sponsorship at Meriden Public Library on November 2nd at 6:30 PM.
