I Volunteer: Refugee Society and Star Metro

i volunteer: The former Afghan college dean walked across the B.C. border from Blaine, Wash. himself just 10 months ago, according to Toronto Star. So when he heard the Parliament of his new country, Canada, was debating whether people like him should be called illegals on Wednesday, it's personal. He knows what that's like. I crossed around 9 p.m., the police came and got me, and after two days in a holding centre my claim was accepted without a hearing, he told Star Metro. Now I volunteer for them. Then I came to Inland Refugee Society, and they helped me find housing. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
