IFRP is happy to announce the long-awaited arrival of Yamen Farwati to Kingston! Yamen is now reunited with his parents and can begin a new life in Canada! Originally from Aleppo, the Farwati family was split in different directions after the Syrian civil war began, with Yamen living in Cairo for several years.
Interfaith Refugee Partnership is pleased to announce the arrival in Kingston of M. El Asrawi! This young man originally from Syria has a law degree and has done humanitarian work. We have been waiting for him for two years.
Here is the webpage of Ms. Amini, who performed at our February concert. Enjoy! https://www.sadafamini.ca/music
Anya Hageman is selling Vesey’s seeds, bulbs, and roots on IFRP’s behalf in support of Peaceful Golan’s incoming family from Syria. If you would like to order something for your garden, please browse this catalogue.
Please send your orders and e-transfers to Anya (hagemana@econ.queensuc.a) by March 6. Thank you!
Thank you all for supporting Saturday night’s concert with your shares, prayers, attendance, donations, or baking. The church was packed and we raised $1,500 to help Peaceful Golan settle their incoming family.
This concert is February 15, not January 15! We will soon update this poster.
IFRP is very grateful to those who continue to donate on line. Our work continues but we will only be accepting online donations up to March 1, 2020 until further notice. Thank you for your generous support in the sponsorship and resettlement of refugees.
Seeking a sewing machine for a highly skilled newcomer
Do you have a spare sewing machine that needs a good home? KEYS is looking for a used sewing machine that is of good quality and not in need of repair for a recent single-arrival refugee.
This newcomer is highly skilled with clothing design and construction, tailoring, intricate embroidery, and more. This person already has people interested in buying his creations but he cannot afford to buy a sewing machine at this time.
If you have a spare sewing machine, please consider donating it to this person with a promising future.
