Syrian Refugees: Syrian Community

syrian refugees: Sam Nammoura, with the Syrian Refugee Support Group of Calgary, helped organize a blood drive for the Syrian community back in January, according to Toronto Star. The success of the event got him and other organizers thinking that they could organize another Canada-wide. Coast to coast, Syrian refugees were showing their gratitude for a chance at a new life by donating blood to help other lives. More than 10 cities are participating. Reham Ghanam was 14 when her family fled Syria and headed to Lebanon. We really wanted to come together across the country as a Syrian community and say in one loud voice that we are here to build, participate, integrate and to appreciate the support and the help that was given to Syrians.
