Jamshid Maree, his wife Sarifa Hasan, son Ahmed (21), and daughter Nafia (15) arrived safely in Edmonton on May 10.
The group is looking for volunteers to help in a variety of ways, including: donating bus tickets, occasional drivers for appointments, working on ESL programming (2 volunteers/day for 45 minute sessions), teaching bus routes for Summer School, teaching walking route to grocery stores, and many more opportunities. Please visit www.bonniedoon.ca/refugees for more information on how to get involved or to make a donation.
Bonnie Doon Community League welcomes the Maree/Hasan family to the neighbourhood and we applaud the efforts of our community in providing such great support to our new neighbours.
