Making a Home for Refugees: ChrisAnn Alvarez’s Work
Set adrift, hoping to find a place to land, somewhere safe so you can rebuild your life.
“There’s this huge misconception that refugees choose to be refugees,” says ChrisAnn Alvarez, Refugee Support at The United Church of Canada. “It’s not a choice. It’s something they’re forced into.”
