Fishing Island: Icelandic and Father Wael

fishing island: She's helped us a lot, like all Icelandic people, so this was our way of saying 'thank you'. In an interview with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the family described an arduous flight from war in Syria, the long journey across Europe and how they chose a cold fishing island deep in the Arctic circle to start anew, according to National Observer. I like it here, especially for my children. The four-month-old was born in Reykjavik to Syrian asylum seekers who were so thankful they gave her an Icelandic name. ; One of our closest friends here, an Icelandic friend, is called Valgerour Halla, said her 36-year-old father Wael, who comes from western Syria. It's safe, everyone is friendly, and we're determined to stay, said Wael. Their youngest daughter, Valgerour Halla Aliyadah, was born last September. Wael and his wife, Ferayl, arrived in summer 2015 with two older daughters, Jana, 5, and Julie, 4. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
