Aid workers from the Evangelical Relief Agency (ERA), our local partner, met Abdullah last month as he sat in the sun, with a t-shirt and worn-out sneakers, trying to get warm. He greeted the aid workers with a smile and tears in his eyes. They listened to his story.
Abdullah’s father died when he was four-years-old. His mother and sister remain in Morocco, while he has attempted to leave Bosnia for over a year. He is stuck. He is homeless. But that day at the park, Abdullah received a jacket, sneakers, a blanket, and kindness from Christian aid workers.
Throughout December, CAMA is helping the ERA provide nutritious food packets, with items like beans, rice, and peanut butter, to over 800 people like Abdullah. They will also distribute 500 blankets.
