Rebecca Davies, who sponsored an Eritrean family through the Ripple Refugee Project, recently shot a video that shows the family’s children seeing snow for the first time.
Five years ago, the family’s mother fled east Africa, spending five years in a Sudanese refugee camp before finally arriving in Canada. She has four children, all under the age of eight. The two children seen in the video are a seven-year-old girl and five-year-old boy.
The family plans on making a new home in Toronto and received numerous welcome messages on Twitter from Canadians who were touched by the heartwarming video.
