People: Vessel Capsized and Kate Seaman

people: This one image galvanized the world and was responsible, in a large part, for spurring many people in the western world into action, according to The Chronicle Herald. Among those people were Leah White and Kate Seaman of the Rotary Club of Kentville. He had been aboard a boat with his family and countless other refugees fleeing a dangerous, war torn homeland and seeking peace and security when the vessel capsized. Through the club, they formed the Valley Newcomers Committee and began raising money to bring to Canada one of the many families that so desperately needed help. On a cold night in February 2016, the Khatibs stepped off a plane in Halifax. After months of tirelessly wading knee deep through red tape and the paperwork necessary to bring refugees to Canada, the committee heard that they had been assigned a family family No. 52 and they would be arriving in record time.
