A Bicycle for Solomon
/Solomon Sennu is a Zomi speaking Burmese refugee who arrived in St. Louis nine months ago with his wife and two small children. Without transportation, he has been dependent on either the mass transit system, or assistance from friends and relatives. Now he has a bicycle which gives him another badly needed option.
It was given to him by CFNA through the generosity of Chris Shearman, owner of the Gelateria del Leone located at 3197 South Grand Blvd. Chris donates $3.00 from the sale of every bag of the Gelateria’s specially roasted coffee. When a sufficient amount has been accumulated, he purchases a bike, complete with helmet and lock, and makes it available to CFNA. From the many who visit the Peace center, Rev. Adefris Mekasha selects a recently arrived family badly in need of help with transportation, and gives it to them.
Sometime when you are in the area, stop by the Gelateria for a great cup of coffee, and say “hi” to Chris.
