2023: The Lakeview Community has once again begun to sponsor refugee dinners for newcomers to Canada through BC. Come and join us for excellent conversation and food.
Dear Helen,
I am glad that you and your wonderful crew managed put together one more dinner before demolition. Thank you!
It was great success and about 40 ppl participated (Welcome Center client and volunteer interpreters). As you noticed the group was very diverse: Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Eritrea, etc. We even had 2 Ukrainian and 1 Tai newcomer who joined. They don't live at Welcome center, but participants of our women peer support program that is occurring every Saturday at WC. Anyways, the number was higher than I expected which is great!
Pass our appreciation to team...
Thanks,
Elmir
