Syrian Family: Family and Chocolate

syrian family: Peace by Chocolate Trudeau sweet on N.S. family They even have a catchy name Peace By Chocolate, according to The Chronicle Herald. We need your help to build a bigger factory, employ more people and continue telling the Syrian refugee story as a part of our new space, said family spokesman Tareq Hadhad in a news release. A few months later, a Syrian family small factory in Antigonish hums with activity as Nova Scotians eagerly buy up chocolate and orders stream in from as far away as B.C. It has been a busy few months for the Hadhad family, who arrived in Canada as refugees but have now gone full North American, complete with a GoFund Me campaign that raised 8,600 in four days and hiring a public relations firm to help expand their business. Before their country was destroyed by civil war, Tareq father Assam ran a chocolate factory in Damascus that was one of the Middle East biggest, shipping treats across the Arab world. They remained there, unable to work, until the Canadian government airlifted tens of thousands of Syrians to a new life in Canada. After war erupted in 2011, their factory was destroyed by a missile and the family fled to Lebanon. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
