People: Refugee Claimants

people: Ali and two other women live in a four-bedroom home in the North End, according to CBC. They recently took in three refugee claimants from Djibouti who were staying at Salvation Army Booth Centre last weekend. Sitti Ali, 28, is a refugee who has been living in Winnipeg for just over three months after leaving Djibouti, East Africa. I like helping people, because I've been helped so why not help people she said. Abdikheir Ahmed, who helps refugee claimants, says people in the Somali community in Winnipeg are stepping up to help provide temporary housing. The refugee claimants are from her home country in East Africa, who crossed the Emerson border on foot last week. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
