Bhutanese In America

I started this blog for a project for a class I was taking at Eastern Connecticut State University. I had to drop out of the school that semester because I had Lyme Disease and also had a bad reaction to Zoloft antidepressant that sent me to the emergency room. I was rattled after that event. I am thankful I made it through all that. I did get more college education elsewhere. I do wish I had stuck it out at Eastern, but that is in the past. I have decided to find out more about Bhutanese in my area. I have found out there are a few Bhutanese restaurants, or at least South Asian restuarants that have Bhutanese fare. I like to go to New York City at least once a year if I can. I already went once this year (the first time in a few years) to see teh Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had a good time at the Karl Lagerfeld exhibit. I see that most of these restaurants are in Queens. I see that the Museum of the Moving Image is in that area. I could go to one of those whenever I visit that museum. I haven't been there before, and I do want to go.

Warm Clothes Drive for Disapora Bhutanese

The Rotary Club in Edison, Illinois started a drive for warm clothes for new Bhutanese residents.  The clothes were dropped off the local Unity Bank and were distributed to 40 households. Some people gave monetary donations for the Bhutanese immigrants.

“We strive to support the communities we serve in many different ways,” the report quoted Unity Bank President James A. Hughes as saying.

“We are pleased to be able to partner with the Rotary Club of Edison on this initiative to help some of the newest residents of our community. We hope local residents will lend a hand in making this difficult transition just a bit easier.”
