Santa Claus Fund

Santa Claus Fund: Thank God they are safe. They re going to school. No one is going to kidnap them, she says of Zhaleh, 12 and Laleh, 17, according to The Star. The family doesnt have much money so when Asim heard about the Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund box, filled with practical items that Zhaleh could use, she eagerly registered her younger daughter through Neighbourhood Link , a social service agency. The Santa Claus Fund provides gift boxes for children up to 12 years and Now that Afghanistan native Luna Asim and her family are safe in Toronto, she says she doesnt have to worry about harm coming to her two daughters. Asim, who was accepted into Canada as a refugee about a year ago, recently completed a community worker program and is seeking work. Her husband, Abdul Zahir, was a teacher in Afghanistan but is struggling here with the new language. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
