URL: http://www.calconline.org/

Description: Web site of the The Chaldean American Ladies of Charity (CALC). Contains information about CALC and its programs. CALC is a nonprofit charitable organization that operates with over 98% of donations going directly to the less fortunate. CALC has continually assisted the needy families of the metro Detroit area since 1961. Metro Detroit's 120,000 Chaldeans are the largest concentration outside the Middle East. Although Chaldean Americans constitute the bulk of Iraqi immigrants living in the United States, they represent less than 10 percent of the population of Iraq. While the vast majority of Iraqis, are Arab Muslim, Chaldeans are Roman Catholic. They also differ from other Iraqis in that their ancestral language is not Arabic but a dialect of Aramaic, also referred to as Chaldean, Assyrian or Syriac.
