The Gherkins are selling t-shirts and tote bags to support our next refugee sponsorship! This t-shirt shows Dr Henry's words "Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe" in English, Lekwungen, French, Chinese and Arabic. This striking design has been generously developed and donated to us by Noah Crowder, a student in the Pacific Design Academy in Victoria. To see more of Noah's work please go to his website: noahcrowderdesigns.com... We also would like to offer thanks to the volunteers who ensured our translations were accurate: Joe Seward (Lekwungen), Marie Chemel-Lefebvre (French), Montaser Aljundy (Arabic), Rachel Yuen and Linda Yang (Chinese) https://gherkins-care-2020.myshopify.com/

Come support a new Syrian family! They arrive in a few weeks!

Hello refugee supporters! It has been almost one year since the family arrived. They are settling in wonderfully and are enjoying the beauty, safety and friendliness of Victoria. They are a lovely family and are all so appreciative of the support they have been given. Thank you so much to all who contributed time, money and household goods to make their first year in Canada successful. As mentioned previously, we are preparing to sponsor a second Syrian family. This situatio...n is slightly different; this family already has relatives in Victoria who are working with us. We already have a lot of furniture stored for them. (Thank you St. Dunstan’s Church!) We need your help to raise more funds. If you would like to support our work sponsoring refugees in Gordon Head, please visit our donation page (www.ghrscg.org) to donate a one time or monthly amount. Thank you and feel free to ask any questions! Please share this post with your friends, family and co-workers who may like to contribute. :)

The generosity of friends is staggering. The baby arrives to Canada in less than a week! Thank you Laura Elora Tammy
