     In 1995 a second refugee project was undertaken 
     
     and Jake (Zeljko), Mira, and Jelena Matos, from war— 
     
     torn Bosnia, settled in Summerside. In 1999 the Matos 
     
     family became official Canadian citizens in a formal cer- 
     
     emony in Charlottetown. 
     
    

    
     In mid-November 1998 the church was able to wel- 
     
     come the Borjan family to the community. Mr. Borjan 
     
     was a brother of Mira Matos. The Borjans and their two 
     
     children lived in the church manse for a year before 
     
     moving to Charlottetown to reside in 1999. After a 
     
     lengthy wait Mira’s mother and younger brother were 
     
     also brought to Prince Edward Island to live. 
     
    

    
     In 2002 the Causevics, another refugee family from 
     
     Bosnia, were sponsored by the congregation of

     Causevic and their two children, Adis and Amra, were 
     
     assisted by the new Immigration Canada Program which 
     
     provided for their financial care. The congregation as- 
     
     sisted them in adapting to their new life by locating an 
     
     apartment for them, arranging daycare, and assisting 
     
     in English Second Language (ESL) courses. They con-

     The most recent church—sponsored project to assist 
     
     those in need abroad was initiated by the Christian 
     
     Family Growth Committee of Summerside Presbyte- 
     
     rian Church. In 2002 this committee adopted a child 
     
     through the Foster Child Program. The boy, Atthasit 
     
     Thaiban, lives in Thailand.
