Dear Friends of RAMP,
Welcome to RAMP's September newsletter. You will have the chance to meet two of our families. Hashmat and Tamana from Family 5 will introduce you to their beautiful new daughter, and Nafisa from Family 13 will share some of her experiences in Afghanistan. The board member profile will focus on the Grahams, Tom and me, both personally and as volunteers.
As you know, our borders remain closed to new refugees while the need in the world for safe spaces continues to grow. We are seeking to work with other refugee assistance groups in Northern New Jersey to build public support for a renewed and robust program of refugee resettlement.
Volunteer Spotlight: Jackie Bay
