«Mi hanno aperto il loro cuore»: la storia di Khan e l'accoglienza Giuseppina
An article published by Caritas Rome tells the story of Khan Gony, a young man who arrived in Italy from South Sudan through the UNICORE university corridors.
After earning his master’s degree at Luiss, Khan found himself facing a period of uncertainty without a job or a place to live. He was welcomed into the community of the Giuseppini del Murialdo in Rome for about two years. This was a precious time during which he not only perfected his Italian and forged bonds of brotherhood with the priests, but was also able to lay the groundwork for his family’s self-sufficiency.
Today, Khan lives in a rented home, works, and has even started a small computer center where he offers free training to those who need it most, thus giving back the kindness he received.
“Here, I didn’t just find a place to stay. I found a family. I’ll tell my children that in Italy I met people who opened their hearts to a refugee, changing the future of an entire family».
A testimony that reminds us how hospitality, a family-like atmosphere, and trust in young people can tangibly transform the lives of those seeking hope.
