Thanks to Sue Houde of Two Dishes Cookshop, Omar has a job doing what he loves most. "I am so grateful to Sue for the chance to work in the bakery." For some people it's hard. But not for me. I love it so much."

Knowing he is supported by a welcoming community, Omar has the opportunity to make use of his abilities and competencies while developing language skills.

You can help newcomers like Omar find hope, achieve success and pursue their dreams. Please consider choosing hope this holiday season with a donation to the New Canadians Centre: http://bit.ly/1Oh6dC8
