Journey’s End prepares for Syrian refugees
Journey’s End Refugee Services case
managers, Mateo Escobar and Ryan Trubits, keep busy doing paper work in
preparation for Syrian refugees coming to Buffalo. The organization hopes to
assist 50-100 refugees in relocate. The Civil War in Syria began in 2011, when
teenagers were arrested and tortured for their paintings of revolutionary
slogans on a school wall. This triggered a nationwide protest for President
Assad to resign. Protesters joined forces to fight against the government,
causing Syria to break out into Civil War. The community can help out in this
process by making donations,
especially of winter gear. By Haley Gorman and Alexis Wilensky
