Huge crowd turnout
to meet the Ethiopians
Shaun Gregory
Last Sunday the community
had the chance to enjoy a hardy
breakfast and meet one of the
newest additions to Seaforth-the
mother from Ethiopia and her
four children.
Several hundred people
eagerly arrived at the Seaforth
Agriplex for the Welcome to Sea -
forth Benefit Breakfast, which
began at 8 a.m. and carried on
until noon. Piles of toast, an
assorted selection of muffins,
pancakes, 45 dozen eggs and 40
pounds of breakfast sausages
kept the crowd coming back for
seconds. The local children had
a divided part of the hall sepa-
rated off to play mini -stick
hockey. The Ethiopians were all
smiles with constant meet and
greets from curious Huron East
and area residents. At times
throughout the gathering the
Ethiopian children could be wit-
nessed holding hands with their
newfound friends.
"It's a big help not even just
financially. Big thing I see from
this (event) is getting a sense of
community. Without seeing
people show up at events like
this, when you're going down
the street you don't know what
sort of support is behind you,"
stated the founder of the Mel-
ody -Powers Seaforth Refugee
Sponsorship Group, Brian Mel-
ady, who also mentioned he was
'completely impressed' with the
dedication from the Seaforth
Agricultural Society.
"We see these people and these
faces and these smiles, it
(becomes) easier to make sure the
family is safe in the community.
There (are) so many people that
took time out of their schedule to
support them and say I'm here,
I'm part of their community."
Before the breakfast the Ethio-
pians woke up in their home on
Seaforth's main strip for the first
time and Melady is confident
they will be 'self efficient' in the
next few weeks. Since the family
arrived, Melady and his partner
have been housing them and
educating them about the Cana-
dian culture so they are able to
fend for themselves.
"It's kind of like a kid that goes
from crawling to walking, there
is that between period when we
are stumbling and need some
hands to hold them up," con-
cluded Melady.
