The St. Dominic's Refugee Committee has been working with Nour and Anwar since August 2016. Our sponsorship was for a year so we are planning a good transition for them after what we call 'the 13th month'. Working with the diocese of Hamilton, we are ensuring they are ready: housing, budget, work and education.
We want them to be successful!
Friendships have grown between team members and our family. Those friendships will continue to the degree that everyone wants them too.
Anwar has a full time job and continues to attend English as a Second Language. He has really done well with his new language. Nour also attends classes and continues to grow her skills. Two committee members assist them during the week with personal language coaching.
After reviewing the rental market, it has been decided that their present apartment is their best option for the foreseeable future. They have developed friendships and supportive relationships with others in the building. Everyone needs a social network.
Nour and Anwar endured the Canadian winter - now they can enjoy a Canadian Summer!
