Here is a story that I’d like to share with you. Travelling from the Middle East to North America as an immigrant is like uprooting a tree and planting it in another soil. A different, strange soil. The tree either dries up or with all kinds of support may survive. This tree needs to work much harder to sustain its roots in the unfriendly soil to get the food and tolerate an unfamiliar climate, and so stand on its roots. I saw your fruits for the first time in Canada and started to enjoy and appreciate what you can contribute to my body. I, as an immigrant, am very similar to you and I need to adapt and survive in a different soil and climate. As your fruits have a big heart I wish my children will bear a big heart for their fellow beings. Your fruits are helping and feeding the people and I hope my future generations will benefit society where they live. So, we are similar and I can connect with you wherever I come in contact with you. Aquí hay un cuento que me gustaría compartirte. Viajando desde el Medio Oriente a Norte América como un inmigrante es como desarraigar un árbol para plantarlo en otra tierra, una tierra extraña, diferente, el árbol se secará o quizás con todo tipo de apoyo sobrevivirá, este árbol tendrá que trabajar mucho más para sostener sus raíces en esta tierra hostil, para alimentarse, tolerar un clima desemejante, y así quedar de pie. Yo vi tus frutos por primera vez en Canadá y empecé a disfrutar y apreciar todo lo que me pudiera contribuir. Yo, como inmigrante, soy similar a tí, también necesitó adaptarme y sobrevivir en un clima y tierra diferente. Como tus frutos llevan grandes corazones así deseo que mis hijos lleven lo mismo para sus semejantes. Tus frutos ayudan y alimentan a la gente y espero así que mis propios descendientes beneficien a la sociedad donde sea que vivan, así, somos familiares y podré relacionarme contigo cuando sea que te encuentre.
