There is a Facebook group called Rutland Welcomes. There is lots of discussion there about volunteer efforts, etc.
I've been reading meeting notes which you can access if you join the "Slack" group. There are links from the Rutland Welcome page. Someone shared this link relating to donations needed. Right now there is no storage space for donations so if we are going to collect physical items, we'd need a local place to keep them in the meantime.
My ideas for the girls to get involved: Write letters either in our language or theirs... Contact the library to get language learning/translating books for Waterbury (or we fundraise and make the donation to our library or to the children directly)... host an art project with the children (less talking required!)
