From one refugee generation to another

Dr. Nhung Tran-Davies (top left) and her family were sponsored by Our Lady of Mercy Parish in Enoch, Alta., when they escaped Vietnam in 1979. She has paid forward their favour some 40 years later by sponsoring the Alshablis, a Syrian refugee family. Her story of generosity will be highlighted in a film to be released by the UN this fall.

EDMONTON - Dr. Nhung Tran-Davies will never forget the January day she saw the Alshablis, a family fleeing war in Syria, walk through the doors of Edmonton International Airport.
