We are One Family Under God
National Migration Week 2015 will take place January 4 – 10 with the theme,
"We are One Family Under God," which brings to mind the importance of
family in our daily lives. This reminder is particularly important when dealing
with the migration phenomenon, as family members are too often separated from
one another. Please find below an assortment of resources that can help with
your celebration of National Migration Week 2015:
