Morhaf Aldiri and Syria

refugee camp: He and his family had to run for their lives when their house was hit by a bomb in their home city of Daraa, Syria, in 2013, according to CBC. Lived in refugee camp Morhaf Aldiri fled his home city of Daraa, Syria in 2013. Morhaf Aldiri, who arrived in Edmonton in February, said Albertans have been so kind to him that he simply had to do something to give back. "When I came it was very difficult," said Aldiri. "Another country, I don't know anything, any people, but lots of people help and help me, so it very nice." Alidiri, 25, knows what it like to lose everything. He then spent time living in a refugee camp in Jordan, alongside thousands of others, before coming to Canada. "I know the pain that the Fort McMurray people feel," he said through a translator. "I lost my home as well in Syria, and it really touched me." He added many Syrian families feel the same way. When he talked to them about how they could support people affected by the fires, they came up with the idea of raising money to pay for a special meal for evacuees. There are about 20 other refugee families in Aldiri new neighbourhood in northwest Edmonton. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
