Sponsorship Project: Family Members

sponsorship project: We wanted a practical project that we could achieve together, Amr Henni, from the group, explained Sunday, according to CBC. He said some of the family members they supported had not seen each for four years, having been displaced to different camps in Jordan and Lebanon. The Regina Multi-Faith Forum began their sponsorship project about 15 months ago. The most-recent family members arrived in Regina in mid-December. Today is a special one because we sponsored a Syrian refugee family and they arrived Dec. 16. On Sunday, during the group's event for World Religion Day, the family was introduced to the community.
