3. ASSISTANCE TO PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE COME FROM ABROAD - New York State has opened a new office to assist professionals (lawyers, architects, pharmacists, nurses, etc.) who have come from other countries and would like assistance to continue with their career here in New York. As many of you know, it's difficult to get the ball rolling. Well, this office will assign an individual to help them. The office is entitled The Office of New Americans. The website is Newamericans.ny.gov or call 800-566-7636.
4. RECENTLY PUBLISHED BOOKS - Are you still interested in doing some reading for those beach/pool visits? There are two books that were recently published that may interest you:
- "Educándonos Educamos" by our former VP, María del Pilar García. The book is available on Amazon. Profits from the book will be going to help the less fortunate in Colombia.
- "SalviYorkers" by Carmen Molina Tamacas. You may remember that it was first published in January 2020. Well, the book is in its 2nd edition. The book originally covered the contributions of salvadoreños going back 90 years here in New York. Based on further investigation she was able to go back 100 years, made additions to the original publication and edited some parts. If you know little or nothing about salvadoreños, this is a must read. The information will help you relate to your Salvadorean students and certainly would be a good addition to your school's library. They can read about the accomplishments of their people going back a 100 years. The book can be found on Amazon. Right now it's only available in Spanish. The English version is expected to be available soon.
Be well,
Bernie
