ABOUT US
We began as a group of three women committed to finding a community response to sponsoring a Syrian Refugee artist at a time when only few were interested. That artist, Anahita Osman, is now in Germany, after a harrowing journey that took her and her family across the Mediterranean sea and through Central Europe on foot. While we remain in contact with her, Out of a War Zone then shifted its efforts towards sponsoring a young family of three. Our sponsorship group consists of six active citizens in Creemore, Mulmur, and Mono, with many more incredible volunteers in both Dufferin and Simcoe Counties in Ontario. We take our cross border relations seriously! After working through the process, we welcomed our family in February of 2016 and are now helping them to start a new life in Canada.
