Hmong Community Contacts in Boston-Providence for Language Loss Story

Hmong language in Boston/Providence? Hello, I am not Hmong, but I spent some time this summer with many Hmong students in northwestern Thailand, near the Lao border. These high schoolers are learning to read and write English and Thai; not Hmong. This dismayed me. I am also a freelance writer, and I am now working on a story about this reality, specifically language loss of Southeast Asian indigenous languages. Would anyone be willing to connect me with communities in Boston or Providence, near where I live? I would be greatly interested to hear about the experience of the Hmong community and the ways that these languages have been preserved or are in danger, here in the U.S. Any thoughts welcome!
