THE CRESTON REFUGEE
COMMITTEE welcomed the Samai family in the late fall. All of them are settling in well. They are eager to upgrade their education and two of them have part time jobs.
We have enjoyed a successful history of 25 years in Creston, and brought in 21 families.
These families from United Nations Refugee camps around the world are a small sample of the 19.2 million people waiting anxiously, but patiently for homes,and who are recognized by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
We are pledged to support the Samai family for a year. We have some money set aside, but need continuing support if we are to see them through the first year safely.
Even though we are a nondenominational group and anyone is welcome to join, we work under the umbrella of the United Church of Canada. This allows contributors to receive tax receipts
