Bonnie Doon Refugee Sponsorship Group
Bonnie Doon Refugee Sponsorship Group was formed in 2016 of individuals and families living in the Bonnie Doon neighbourhood who wanted to sponsor a refugee family from Syria. For 2 years they organized and fundraised in preparation for the arrival of their sponsored family.
Jamshid Maree, his wife Sarifa Hasan, son Ahmed (21), and daughter Nafia (15) arrived safely in Edmonton on May 10. They have been settling into their rental home in Bonnie Doon.
(last updated May 2018) Bonnie Doon Refugee Sponsorship 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. The volunteer sign up link is here.

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.
