Does anyone have ideas as to how I can reach groups that are helping immigrants learn English and U.S. life skills? This could be with churches, libraries, schools, employers, etc. etc. They are not in organizations and I only find them one by one. This helps a little bit but is very time consuming and I know I am missing 95% of them.
I am trying to introduce my book to them to use in their classes: a bilingual (English and Spanish) reference guide "How to Live & Thrive in the U.S."
Thanks, Donna
This country was built by immigrants, it will continue to attract and need immigrants. Some people think there are enough people here now -- people have been saying this since the 1700s and it still is not true. They are needed to make up for our aging population and low birthrate. Immigrants often are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. We must help them become Americans and not just people who live here and think of themselves as visitors. When immigrants succeed here, the whole country benefits.

Hello Donna,
My name is Adam Ramsey, and I have noticed the gap in these types of programs as well. I have seen them in libraries, churches, and schools as you discuss, but there do not seem to be many organizations where English education and a cultural resource center are the primary purposes.
As a result, I am in the very early planning stages of initiating and non-profit organization that fills this need. Not surprisingly, your book sounds exactly like something I am looking for! I'm located near Dallas, TX and would be very interested to contact you about this issue. Hope to hear from you soon.
Adam, you didn't give me a way to contact you. Please send me an email. the address is in my profile at the side of the page. Your blogger profile is not public. Thanks
