Writing Workshop and Immigrant Women

immigrant women: These personal memoirs are a labour of love by members of The Shoe Project , an ongoing writing workshop for immigrant women in Greater Toronto, according to The Star. Shoes are a starting point, a doorway. It is something we all wear. We want to focus on peoples traditions, of what they left behind and their new dreams here and Memories of growing up as a single child under Chinas one-child policy. Why a little Syrian boy at a refugee camp wore a mans shoes. The tale of a girl who heeded her moms advice and escaped the thug capital of India. It is a treasure trove these women have in terms of their stories. They bring to this country their cultural sophistication, education and warmth, said Katherine Govier, who partners with the Bata Shoe Museum, which hosts the groups weekly meetings.
