Remembering Martin Luther King Day, January 18, 2021

Holiday Wishes from the N4 team
As the year 2020 comes to its conclusion, it is a sobering thought that many who celebrated its arrival, did not live to see the end of it as the COVID-19 pandemic descended upon the world with stealth and tragedy.

I felt as if I will not have a future there, and that my family and I had to move somewhere that will promise us a better life. We chose Canada...
