Memories of a Refugee

Wednesday, 20 August 2008

While in Brisbane, Doulos hosted several people who sailed with the ship to Australia half a century ago. The last ship to take refugees, the then Roma sailed from Bremerhaven on 30 October 1950, arriving on 18 December in Newcastle, Australia. Mrs. Gana Ralph, originally from Lithuania, recounted her experiences of the long voyage as a four year-old. “One vivid memory I have is of vomiting!” she said. Gana’s family had one set of clothes, one ladle, one silver spoon, and one rosary bead. She recounted images of pasta with tomato sauce, an Italian crew, and tears shed during the hard voyage. Maritime historian Reuben Goossens, a Brisbane resident, was also on board to talk to these special guests as he documents the ship’s past.

Food Prices Increase in Northern Afghanistan

Food prices in Afghanistan have soared over the past few months. People turn to desperate means, digging through rubbish containers in order to feed their families. Unable to find work, a 40-year-old man sold his 11-year-old daughter for US$2,000. “For too many days I stood next to roads and asked people for work,” said the man. “Because I am illiterate, no one will give me a job.” War and poverty have perpetuated illiteracy. Schools are slowly becoming a priority again in northern Afghanistan. However, the pressures of immediate hunger are often too demanding. Vulnerable is the hope of a generation of formally educated Afghanis.
