Newly-Arrived Refugees: Arts Centre and Choir Members

newly-arrived refugees: By Amitha Kalaichandran The Canadian Press Thu., Oct. 27, 2016 MISSISSAUGA, ONT.—At 11 years old, Majid has a voice that more than does justice to her slight 4-foot frame, according to Toronto Star. Standing in the hallway of the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, Ont., Majid is practising one of several songs she has learned as a member of Nai Syrian Children Choir. Research shows that music helps children integrate into new surroundings. This song is about peace, a new concept for the young choir members, all newly-arrived refugees from Syria. It is good for the language. I like singing songs in English, Arabic, and … English again, Majid says, her eyes sparkling, and we sing at home too. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
