Aunt Elizabeth: Brother Dennis

Loving Arms Dept: The boys, aged 7 and 13, arrived this week after they were rescued by their aunt, Elizabeth Alija, a refugee from Sudan who's already raised four kids on her own and two other nephews, according to Montreal Gazette. In late 2008, he and his younger brother, Dennis, were left alone when their father died from a fever in Juba, Sudan and two Sudanese orphans have finally made it to the loving arms of family in Winnipeg. "We were kind of lost and didn't know if it would really happen - if really we were going to come," said 13-year-old Thomas, who speaks Swahili, Arabic and some English, with his aunt interpreting. As reported in the news.
