Description
Calendar caption: “Many years ago our ancestors came as refugees,” reflects Elaine Hofer (third from left). “If Canada hadn’t welcomed Hutterite refugees, many of us wouldn’t be here today.” Hutterite members of Green Acres Colony near Wawanesa, Manitoba, along with Enes and Fata Muheljic, a refugee couple who fled from the former Yugoslavia years ago, worked with MCC Canada to sponsor a refugee family from Syria. From left, Wanda Waldner, Najwa Hussein Al Mohamad, Hofer, Reyad Alhamoud, Paul Waldner and 1-year-old Lee Waldner meet together at Green Acres Colony. (Photo/Ava Waldner)
