Join Gurasis and Rossbina as they venture into the past, immersing you in the true stories of Ugandan refugees. Experience the heartache of displacement, as we unravel the historical background of the Asian immigration to Uganda and the unsettling processes that unfolded. Listen to the poignant memories, laced with fear and uncertainty, but also the glimmer of hope embedded in the narratives of each refugee.
Celebrate with us the rich tapestry woven by the Asian diaspora in Canada. Hear from Rossbina, co-founder of F.O.C.U.S. On Seniors. An initiative catered to elderly citizens in Calgary, their unique take on Canada Day celebrations and our guest's personal mission to elevate the quality of life for senior citizens, a testament to her gratitude towards Canada.
So, lend your ears to these narratives of resilience, hope, and the unyielding human spirit.
