What a long strange trip it’s been… the longest day...
Up at midnight in Lebanon, leave Beirut at 4:00 to fly to Frankfurt, then across the Atlantic to Toronto. Meeting with Immigration, then back in a plane to Halifax where a tired but excited group meets them, then a long drive in the fog to their final destination in Digby.

welcome the El-Ezzo family from Syria: father Fayez, mother Thonaya,
boys Mohamad (2) and Amir (1). They are the family we have been working
to help. Now that they are here they are no longer refugees.
