Warm Welcome to the Syrians - ketchim - 12-08-2015
As the first waves of Syrian refugees arrive in B.C.,
Canadians are opening their hearts and homes to them. ::love::

Nancy Willborn knew she wanted to offer her Ladner, B.C. townhouse to a deserving refugee family.
Willborn knows she could rent out her place for twice as much as she'll get from refugees,
but she says helping people rebuild their lives is more important.

"My parents were here helping the other day. Mom is, I don't know 83.
Dad is 88 and they were on their hands and knee"
God Bless Canadians !

Ibrahim Tonbari struggled off Air Canada Flight 8867 in Windsor, Ont., Monday
with his wife, Zaineb, and four children under the age of seven.
He shuddered in the cold, but told CBC News in Windsor that the first thing he thought of
was a better future for his children.

The Canadians has contracted the International Organization of Migration to handle logistics and country exits.
Each gets a blue bag, stenciled IOM, and inside is the coveted document :
[size=12pt]a copy of Canadian "permanent resident status"[/size]
— one each for Ibrahim, his wife and four kids. :-* :-*
