British Columbia: Tissue Paper and Settlement Worker

british columbia: Two of my brothers were captured by the Assad regime, according to National Observer. I havent been able to talk to them in four years. An interpreter slid him a box of tissue paper, and he thanked her as he dabbed away hot tears falling down his cheeks. ; Everybody seems to be laughing and having fun here, but Im still struggling with some things in Canada, he said quietly. I looked down, at a loss for words, as a settlement worker comforted him. Ali is a portrait of resilience, surviving war, supporting his wife through cancer treatments in Syria, and relocating to a new life and job in Langley, British Columbia. This was the second time Id met Ali, and the pain in his voice was as raw as it was the first time Id interviewed him in June, when he broke down crying at the mention of his family caught in war.
