@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caI imagine the reason he felt he could welcome people from faraway places so easily was because he was one of those people... and faced persecution because of it in his childhood. A reminder that people are good. #Friendship #welcome #mennonite
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caA nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."
