My mother, brother and I came here knowing that we would have a better future, as my father had lived here for many years and knew the potential that was available to all. We were not disappointed, as my brother fulfilled his ambition to become a doctor and practiced for many years until his death.

  • My name is Dawn Malacari. When Rose, Jessie and Tony arrived in WA they stayed in Said Samaha's home in Scarborough. Said Samaha is my Grandfather and Jessie's Uncle. If anyone reads this comment I wonder if they would be so kind as to get in touch with me on 0895353113 as I would love to renew my contact with Jessie and her family.
