Naive but keen, Dave, Anne and five friends volunteer to become
first-time sponsors, and are matched with an elderly couple from
Kosovo. Little do they know they are about to embark on an
adventure unlike anything ever experienced before.
This true story will make you laugh out loud, bring tears to your
eyes, and leave you wanting to meet this amazing Kosovar couple.
The instant Nezir Brajshori--the tall, confident, outgoing man
better known as "Hajji"--and his wife Nazife--a quiet, retiring,
gentle woman--set foot on Canadian soil and meet their sponsors,
the fun and challenges begin. Adjusting to each other and to
unexpected cultural differences, the sponsors and newcomers share
hilarious moments, overcome language barriers and tackle the
practical difficulties of daily life in a new country.
The sponsors introduce the Brajshoris to Canada's modern, urban
environment, while Hajji entertains with anecdotes of traditional
rural life. Together they celebrate the arrival of the Brajshoris'
son, Dani, rejoice in the excitement of trips to Germany, Mecca,
and Kosovo, and partake in the joy of a visit with the Prime
Minister of Canada. The volunteers learn about the Muslim religion
and the art of living the moment, while Hajji and Nazife
internalize the Canadian way of life.
As years go by, a bond is created. The relationship blossoms, as
sponsors pass from role of helper to friend, becoming as close as
family itself.
In becoming Canadian citizens, the Brajshoris achieve their dreams
of democracy, peace and freedom.
