Leonard Doyle and Social Media Campaign

Facebook: We know from economic reports the incredible contributions migrants make, according to Toronto Star. But it is easy to forget that, said Leonard Doyle, IOM spokesman. Hundreds of people — including a Somali woman who moved to Canada to go to university, a French woman in Georgia and a Congolese artist in Mauritania — are participating in this global social media campaign, posting their profiles and photos on the website iamamigrant.com. We have to remind ourselves the world is a living mosaic and that makes it much richer. Facebook in Germany has also lent support, donating online advertising space. The Mexican government, an enthusiastic participant, will put Soy Migrante posters on display next month. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
