Almas Jiwani, CEO of the Almas Jiwani Foundation, will deliver keynote address via video conference call at a fundraiser to benefit the Syrian Refugees Sponsorship Program, which will take place in Markham, Ontario on June 30, 2016.
This is one of the first of two major events taking place to fundraise for the families and refugees from Syria. The event will focus on the needs currently faced and the conditions under which the Syrian refugees are enduring in Syria and in refugee camps.
This fundraiser will assist in alleviating the financial difficulty faced once refugees have made it to safety, and to help them begin and focus on their healing journey.
One of the goals of this fundraiser event is to raise awareness of the circumstances the refugees are currently facing in the camps and how much help is needed.
“I’m honoured to be able to address the Syrian Refugees Sponsorship Program and to bring much needed attention to the refugee crisis,” said Almas Jiwani. “The international community has a responsibility to these fellow human beings to provide any available aid to stop their senseless suffering.”
