British Columbia: Shergo Sister and Heveen Kurdi

british columbia: The teen used a metaphor to explain how his life has been affected by the move to British Columbia, according to Globe and Mail. It like a flower: if he doesn't have water he will die. Shifts sometimes lasted as long as 24 hours, he said, and frequently he didn't get paid. Come to Canada, he has water and opens up again, he said. The whole family is together again, Heveen said, smiling. Shergo sister, 16-year-old Heveen Kurdi, also spoke positively about her time in Canada, and of being reunited with her father, Mohammad Kurdi, who spent nine months in Germany trying to get his family out of Turkey and missed the birth of his youngest child.
