Home Countries and Fire Light

week: Silhouetted in fire light, the former refugees danced in the traditional styles of their home countries, according to CBC. These 50 people began their journeys to Jasper National Park this week from all points on the compass — from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Liberia and South Sudan. Accompanied by guitar and bongo drums, a blend of voices sang in French, Swahili, Arabic and English. Most are newcomers to Canada, and most have never been camping before. Many of the campers have lived in Edmonton for less than six months. The annual trip, now in it fourth year, is called Learning To Camp. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
