Do you suppose we could pool enough money to start a community college? Or do you suppose it would be better to utilize existing public school infrastructure and make it better at addressing the educational needs of potential immigrants?

Or maybe adopt them into a house, with people who have time to help them acclimate, while they take immigrant/english classes? Doesn't need to be a big production. Don't volunteers already do things like this?

They do, I have friends that are hosts for people/immigrants from Afghanistan.

I was just trying to gauge your commitment and sincerity to what you were saying.

I'm in a state of flux for the next few months, on the road a lot. But this is a great reminder, something I've thought of getting involved with in the past. Nothing beats people helping people. I wish all of us had more time to do such things.
