Ranjith/Finding Friends
Ranjith’s story comes from Sri Lanka via Toronto…Not an onmyplanet.ca production but a worthy and touching story…
An immigrant from Sri Lanka, Ranjith has been a volunteer at the Access Alliance Multicultural Health and Community Services for the past five years. He is a founding member of “Among Friends”, a three-year initiative to improve access to public services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) refugees and immigrants in Toronto.
