Sharing refugee stories

Date:

Regional Connections Immigrant Services’ latest Connecting Cultures Through Stories event—RED: Resilience. Empowerment. Discovery—welcomed people to the Westside Community Church in Morden Saturday for an evening of community. Filipino band D’Juan performed throughout the night while various volunteers read stories highlighting the refugee experience. All the stories came from local resettlement assistance program clients and illustrated the perseverance, courage, hope, and unbreakable spirit that brought them to their new lives in Canada.
