Emad

: Emad, 28, is in the midst of discussing how hard it been to find work in the northern Jordanian city of Irbid when there a pounding at the door, according to Toronto Star. Everyone, even the kids, tenses up. Nine-year-old Adnan grabs his mother cellphone, his two brothers and cousin huddle to play video games, chattering away, while his two-year-old sister Abeer gets her hands on another phone and toddles around pretending to have a conversation. Even though they’re heading soon to the safety of Canada, the fear of Syria still hovers. Emad cousin, Awad, gets up and pulls back the heavy wooden door.A neighbour child in is the hallway. Emad wife Razan, 28, places a hand on her stomach — she pregnant with her third child — and the colour drains from her face. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
