United Neighbours Canadian Syrian Settlement Project
United Neighbours is fundraising for another sponsorship! This time for Jafar and Nour Alaalyan and their baby boy, Firas. You can give at CanadaHelps.org. Search for "Jafar and Nour."
When Syria’s civil war began in 2011, Jafar was just 12 and Nour was eight. Both come from Daraa, where the rebellion against Bashar al-Assad began. The city is a ruin, their family properties long since confiscated.
Jafar and Nour met and fell in love in Barja, a community in Lebanon with many Syrian families. Jafar has worked in a carwash, in a supermarket and as a delivery driver, but jobs are precarious for Syrians and it is becoming harder to support a family amid the economic crisis in Lebanon. Jafar cannot return to Syria without being forced into the military. The family are UNHCR refugees.
United Neighbours has lots of experience helping families adapt to life in Canada. With two brothers here, Jafar has a headstart in finding the support he needs.

Every Tree Counts Community Grants Now Available!
Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation has announced the opening of a second round of funding to support community tree planting initiatives in Toronto. Up to $350,000 in annual grants are now available to non-profit organizations and groups interested in leading native tree planting and tree care projects on private land.
Every Tree Counts Community Grants start at $10,000 and support the Every Tree Counts movement, a collective effort in Toronto to grow the city’s tree cover to 40%. The City of Toronto plants over 100,000 trees annually on public land, however, the greatest potential for additional tree planting exists on private land. This means communities, businesses, and institutions have a big role to play in growing and caring for the city’s trees.
More information is available here.
