Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia and Creative Side

Marwa Salem: Some let their imaginations bring out their creative side with drawing and colouring activities, according to The Chronicle Herald. Others could barely contain their awe and excitement at their first opportunity to play in snow. The children played with dolls, action figures, trucks and puzzle pieces, and zoomed around the room on a toy motorcycle. Many parents take these activities for granted. Before now, there was no space for them to play or to do any activity, but here they have much to do; the atmosphere there was not good at all for them to play there, said Marwa Salem of the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, who acted as an interpreter. But not these families, who a day earlier had left Jordan, where they spent three years in a refugee campafter escaping the horrors of the Syrian civil war, and landed in Halifax to start the next phase of their lives.
