When I was in my late teens our church sponsored a refugee
family from Eritrea. My father was a
very generous farmer and he would often supply the family with beef and pork
when he sent animals to slaughter. It was not uncommon for Dad to get Christmas
cards from families years after they’d moved to other areas of the nation.
My daughter and I had dinner tonight and in conversation she
mentioned a friend’s family were from Ethiopia –Eritrea. She mentioned that the community is very
close knit. As the sponsored family
gained independence we lost touch. I’m
now wondering if news may be forthcoming.
It would be great if your family could connect with them once again. I hope you write a Slice or post about it when you do. I would love an update. Thanks for sharing.
