Scope and content
The item is an audio recording of an interview with John Hassan Halani.
A Ugandan-Asian's immigration to and resettlement in Vancouver, B.C., his experiences in Canada, including jobs, Lions Club, chairmanship of King George Secondary School consultative committee, and Ismaili welfare committee involvement. Views expressed regarding Canadian politics, reasons for mixing with many different groups of people in Vancouver (not just Ismailis), and the standard of education here. Most of this is discussed on the basis of a comparison to Uganda. Also discussed are dairy framing and cattle diseases in Uganda, differences in attitudes between Canadian and Ugandan society, opinions of the Canadian upbringing of children, and the beneficial and detrimental effects of television on young people. Mr. Halani also mentions the contact he has had with Ugandan friends (still in Uganda) since the crisis, and who now own his house, belongings and business there.
