Refugee Camp: Head Scarf and Experts Question

refugee camp: Carrying infants and herding young children, 20 Syrian men and women file into a six-metre-by-six-metre plastic-covered tent in a refugee camp on a wet, grey morning, according to Metro News. A facilitator from a local aid group, a young woman in her early 30s, greets them as they sit. So quietly, some experts question whether its impact is even measurable. What is communication she asks. She cradles a baby in one arm. Linking words together, says a young woman wearing a head scarf and a long-sleeved green dress. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
