need everything: New online swap shop to outfit Syrian refugees with what they need Everything was extra challenging, Alsaleh said of his time as a new arrival, according to CBC.

Now, two years later as part of the non-profit coding group Peace Geeks, Alsaleh is on a team working on an app that helps refugees use their smartphones to survive and thrive in their new surroundings. Peace Geeks has already developed a widely-used app to help Syrian refugees navigate refugee camps in Jordan called Services Advisor. The goal for the coming app is to provide the same sort of information in a Canadian context.
