Thursday Early Blend
Thursday December 29th, 2016 with Tony Copple
Carty House for refugees, Kingdom Culture's Holiday Dream, on the street outside the Shepherds of Good Hope. In search of what keeps them going, with their seasonal music requests.
Yes, alive, but low on the economic scale. Meet some of Ottawa's more dependent people in this season of love and giving.
For I am Alive at the end of the year, occasional host Tony Copple interviews people who may be invisible to many of us, but are very much alive making the best in difficult circumstances.
The first visit was to Carty House, a home for women refugees, mainly from Africa, here in the heart of Ottawa |

Holiday Dream is an annual outreach of food and love by Kingdom Culture Ministries. It takes place at Lansdowne Park. Around 300 turkeys + vegetables, and children's toys were given to selected disadvantages families. See photos: http://bit.ly/2hO04lb and http://bit.ly/2hdVgUY.
