Syria and Miryam

family: CTV has withheld the family last name because they fear for their relatives still in Syria, according to CTV. We were very happy in Syria and everything was okay and then this happened and everybody has been spread out, said Miryam. A family of Syrian refugees - 12-year old Miryam, her two brothers and aunt Safaa - came to Winnipeg two months ago. On top of learning English and adjusting to a new culture, Miryam is on the mend. She was badly burned all over her body. In January 2015, a bomb blew up Miryam house in Syria. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
