Welcome

Anne Mahon – Author

In The Lucky Ones: African Refugees’ Stories of Extraordinary Courage,  Anne Mahon presents a collection of personal accounts of heartbreaking loss and the resilience needed to begin again in a new country. Candidly told in their own words, the subjects reveal the uplifting truth of their unbreakable human spirit. A wide assortment of men and women ranging in age from four to 73 represent a variety of African countries and backgrounds. Their compelling stories span from experiences in their African birth countries to their new home in Manitoba. These inspiring insights  challenge assumptions and encourage understanding. All author proceeds from the sale of this book will go to micro-lending opportunities for business and community projects at SEED Winnipeg and to post-secondary scholarships at the University of Winnipeg for the African community of Manitoba.
