New Family Moves into Refugee Home October 2008

A family of six from Colombia moved into our Refugee House.  They were displaced from their rural home due to threats from rebels. They are one of four related families who arrived late October 2008.  StirlingOne of each of the married couples heading each of the families is a brother or sister. The mother of the four siblings lives with one of the families.  The family at Stirling consists of a mother and father,  18 year old,  15 year old,  13 year old and  1 year old children.  They have consistently attended First Mennonite Church and enjoy the contacts with other Hispanics. Two of the youth are attending the weekly LOGOS meetings for youth.  Overall they seem to be integrating well.

 Volunteer labour from First Mennonite Church has been used to renovate this property back into a four bedroom home.
