Ayman Risou was born on March 25; a healthy 8 lb baby boy. The family continues to thrive and describes Canada as the “promised land”. Later this year we will begin the process of finding employment for Tarik and Ahmad. This is a long term partnership which will go into 2018 and beyond. There is an African proverb that says “it takes a village to raise a child”. I would say, “it take a church to sponsor a refugee family”. The RAG committee was the enabler, but many members of the congregations played a role and will continue to play an important role in the lives of the Risou family. Please continue to pray for the Risous. Thanks for your support of the Refugee Action Group. Carrie Wright, Elizabeth Ferguson, Kevin Lai, Margaret Paul, Moira Ferguson, Ruth Reimer and Jeff McGee)
