First Time Seeing Snow

November 13, 2018 6:08 pm Published by

A video that shows two children from Eritrea enjoying snow for the first time in Canada is putting a smile on many faces.

Rebecca Davies, spokesperson for the Ripple Refugee Project, a Toronto-based group of private citizens that sponsors, settles, and helps to integrate newcomers to Canada, posted the video.

The family arrived on Thursday from a refugee camp in Sudan, where they had lived for the past five years after fleeing violence in Eritrea. The video was taken on Saturday. The family, which includes a mother and four children, aged 7, 5, 3 and 13 months, is living with Davies.
