During the annual One Person Project volunteer trip to Kahama, Richard H. and his son Trenton took a meaningful side journey to the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi. The visit was deeply personal: a chance to spend time with Alfred, Yvonne, Amina, and their family, strengthening bonds that have grown over three years of connection. Richard and his wife Corrianne have been sending funds to the extended family for a number of years now, and being there in person was an amazing experience.
The visit also had a wider purpose. Richard and Trenton captured footage for an upcoming documentary that tells Alfred’s remarkable journey - from life in the refugee camp to the hope of a new beginning. Richard and Corrianne, are part of the Group of Five sponsors helping bring Alfred, Yvonne, and their son Praise to the Okanagan, and this visit was another step in giving support to the family as they prepare for their next chapter.
