Hi Kjer,

I was trying to understand and know this American Holiday called THANKS GIVING and why it is important to Americans and those who understood its origin. I hope I got it right from different explanations. I was told, it is in the memory of the hard time that the European Americans went through when they first came to America, ranging from lack of food and other basic neccessities of life.  With this little knowledge on this great day, I deeply believe that I am part and parcel of this celebration including all the refugees in the world who have gone through similar experiences that our sisters and brothers went through in their first days and years in the USA. The general challenge to all humanity, is how can we stop the history from repeating itself ?

Happy Thanks Giving to all.

Lots of love

Kwase M

From Antoine:

Dear FRIENDS,

In this occasion of Thanks Giving, allow me to thank you for your generosity, commitment and hardworking in making FORGE’s mission happen; you really are people who raised, are raising, and will raise the Refugee community.  You really have all contributed to the reduction of illiteracy, ignorance, poverty and many more in this community which was affected by war troubles in their countries.

By doing what you have done, are doing and will do, you are constructing our countries in advance.

As you know it, the refugee community is crying every day and night for help but not everyone can understand their cries, you have made it happen by understanding their cries and acting without waiting. We will never forget your incredible actions; you have rebuilt our hope and are still reinforcing it.

We have at least felt how much outside people care about us. You really shown your love to us but we have nothing to give back. THANKS FOR EVERY THING, you are right people doing right things.

Once again Thanks.  

Antoine
