WELCOME HOME
Newcomers from Afghanistan have been settled, supported and nurtured in Harvard by numerous* local volunteers who together formed a Neighborhood Support Team (NST).
NSTs are being formed in various communities around the United States as a proven way to not just help refugees to survive in our communities, but help them to thrive. This project aims to allow members of two newcomer families and the volunteers who helped them to recount their experiences in their own words.
