Description
A charcoal drawing of a young boy and girl hangs in Senator Donald Oliver’s home in Nova Scotia. He met these children in 1962 when he went to Ethiopia one summer as a Crossroader and they continue to remind him of the time he spent there. “I look at them quite frequently and remember the joy that I received in working in the community and meeting the Ethiopians who are a quiet, gentle people,” says Senator Oliver. “It just takes me back to 1962 and the change that summer made in me and my life and what I’ve dedicated my life to do.”
