The gift of community is truly an honor and privilege to experience.
Our successful 2012 Home Away from Home celebration was held at Mien Evangelical Church and Pastor Peter Acharya graciously offered their space to host our event. In our 5th year, we had the most number of refugees and immigrants who attended our thanksgiving feast! We welcomed new faces and celebrated the return of lifelong friends and family. Our community is growing and we all look forward to its continued expansion for years to come!
Special shout out to Chi for creating an amazing video of our event photos! And thank you to Mama, Papa, Dru, Edgar, Jane, Dea, Joseph, Amy, Dindo, Linda, Andy, David, Mitra, Carmel, Anne, Jeremy, Sheila, Cecille, Gensho, Christie, Anjali and new friends Michael, Nataliya, Veena, Esther, Sandrine and Thomas :) The realization of this year's Home Away from Home was all of your doing.
As we powerfully complete year 2012, I'll part with these words of wisdom ...
"No great thing is created suddenly.
There must be time.
Give your best and always be kind."
- Epictetus
May YOU and EVERYONE around you create an amazing and extraordinary experience of life.
