This is a true and incredible human story, of a refugee family losing everything, leaving their home, and finding a new home and new life in an unexpected place and in unexpected ways. I’ve been following their story since their arrival in Canada and they are a wonderful example of will, grit, tenacity, family, compassion, overcoming odds, and a sheer refusal to give up. They are paying it forward by giving back to the people in their new community and beyond. Supporting those who welcomed them and may need the help that they so generously received when they were in desperate need. Plus, their chocolate in incredible.

I know there must be countless other stories like this that we never hear or read about. We need to be writing a happy story. A kind word and a smile here and there. A helping hand or two or three.
Like any new task it takes practice and hard work and sacrifice. Then helping becomes natural. Thanks for sharing chocolate today. We should never underestimate the power for good we have.

This is going to be a heartwarming story, no doubt. Gibran quotes are always powerful. His book ‘The Prophet’ is one of my favourites.

This is my kind of story. My work in progress involves a friendship between two middle schoolersβa Muslim American boy and an English American boy. What makes their friendship challenging is that the English father is racist.
