Karen Whiting and Syrian Refugees

United Nations refugee registration: It the building where many fleeing violence in their home country end up, and where many will begin their journey to a new home, according to CTV. Karen Whiting, who has been working for the UN in Jordan since 2013, is one of the workers helping to bring Syrian refugees to Canada. Now, in a country with more than 600,000 Syrian refugees, the former school is the largest United Nations refugee registration centre in the world. Many of these people will have experienced stressful situations, traumatic situations, inside Syria, Whiting says. The resettlement process begins by identifying the vulnerable among the hundreds of thousands of refugees. But also their life here in displacement may not have been very easy.
