Refugee UpdateRequest for Resources The St. George's Refugee Sponsorship Group is still patiently waiting to hear about confirmed travel plans for Ruth and Tesfalem to finally make the journey to Canada. Their suite has been stocked in every room with your generous donations of furniture and more. We have realised that a small computer table, plus a low table for a TV would be useful. If you, or anyone you know, is able to donate these two remaining items that would be wonderful. Please let Amanda or Christine at the Office know if you are able to assist, and they will contact Rosamund from the group to arrange any pick up. We all continue to hold Ruth and Tesfalem in our prayers, as well as her family here who are eagerly awaiting their arrival. The group thanks you for your consideration on these two remaining furniture items. |
