Our Silent Journey

Delving into this new and unexpected adventure in a new country, Canada, Martin did not know how to manage his emotions. Canada, a country that embraced both him an his family, was so very much different from his birth country Peru. He grappled with mixed emotions. He was ready to explore this new place with anticipation, yet also feeling like he was falling into an abyss, as it also meant leaving his relatives and friends behind, and the life he was so accustomed to. Focusing on the new horizon and immigrating to Canada meant that he could finally be reunited with his dad, who had to flee his homeland in Peru. This journey is filled with many hurdles and obstacles that Martin must overcome, and adventures that often would bring Martin back to the past, reflecting on how it was and where his journey first began. Step into this journey with Martin and see how his life unfolds in a new culture and language, and how his greatest privilege comes from enduring many obstacles. Our Silent Journey takes you to another place and time and is a great reminder of the difficulties and challenges that a newcomer faces, as well as the blessings that also await. Martin’s dads greatest sacrifice of having to leave behind his beloved family and his perilous trek to Canada will sprout new possibilities for all of them and one that is filled with hope and new beginnings.
