Karam Al Sallan and Greenwood Secondary School

Al Sallan: For decades, the Toronto high school has helped hundreds of immigrant families with matters like housing and employment, according to CTV. Teen Karam Al Sallan, whose family is from Syria, attends Greenwood, where, he says, every minute spent in the classroom and every tip from a teacher is cherished. One of those institutions is Greenwood Secondary School. It is hard, but I want to study and build a future for me, says Al Sallan. We always stay in the middle of the house so no bombs come to us, Al Sallan recalled. It a future that the 14-year-old didn’t think he had growing up with daily attacks in Aleppo, Syria.
