On February 23 Vedaste, Jeanette and the children arrived from South Africa to settle here in Grafton. They travelled from Johannesburg, South Africa, on an Humanitarian visa to resettle in Australia.After fleeing Rwanda in the 90's Vedaste and Jeanette lived in Kenya for four years where their first child, Doreen, was born. They were forced to leave Kenya so then travelled to South Africa were they have lived for the past ten years. It was here in South Africa where the boys, Providence and David, were born.
The family seem to be settling in well to Grafton and the children are enjoying school at Grafton Public. Vedaste hopes to get work in translation/interpreting and migrant assistance area.
