Red Cross refugee volunteer Joanne Ussher will be looking after two Colombian families through the festive season. It's a question Red Cross refugee volunteer Joanne Ussher asks people training to become volunteers like her. And it's a question she has put to herself more than once since becoming involved in working with Colombian refugee families in Southland in the past 18 months. More Colombian families were expected to arrive in Southland during the festive season month of December. As Red Cross refugee volunteers, Ussher and Patterson are on hand to support them through the Christmas holiday period.
