Refugee resettlement takes a pause

The resettlement of former refugees into the Wellington area has paused for the moment, due to the current COVID-19 border restrictions in place.  We are so grateful for the hard work of those of us who have contributed household items or funds, processed the items into household lots, and set them up in houses for former refugees to arrive to and make a home in.

In the meantime, the New Zealand Red Cross has shared a story with us of one family’s experience:

Thank you all for your generosity – we will let you know when resettlement resumes and when there are more opportunities to be part of this amazing programme.
