Description
Visit the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center and Learn about Cherokee Culture while you make a new friend of this local fellow who has legal blindness. Due to vision related issues, he cannot drive and needs a sighted buddy to help with a little research. He hopes to change his name to his ancestral equivalent and do a few other things that require research, vision and transportation. You can help with a few visits and a visit or two at the museum or town hall.
If you love research, genealogy, learning something new or making a new friend, this is for you.
Read, visit, grab a bite - do GOOD!
