Welcome
Chautari was developed by a group of friends and volunteers in the Burlington area. The idea was to give a place that these women could come together to share ideas and skills and perhaps be able to integrate more quickly into the local community.
The group of women participating in Chautari are recently arrived refugees from Nepal and Bhutan. Currently, there are approximately 15 women that are actively involved, but expect to grow as word spreads. As all refugees received by the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program do, these women are engaged in English classes and working on settling into northern Vermont life.
