I have been volunteering with OCRA (Ottawa Centre Refugee Action) over the last year or two. They are holding a dinner for what they are calling OCRA 2.0 as many of the families that they have sponsored are working on brining other members of their family here. I know from the family that I've worked with that while it is great to be in contact via smart phones and social media, they worry a lot about the wellbeing of family members who remain in the middle-east under precarious conditions.
Please see below (and visit the OCRA website in addition to the website where you can buy tickets for this very important fundraising event).
Thanks,
