She was only five and after hours of traveling, her mother and five siblings were greeted by a crowd of strangers at the Edmonton International Airport. Her only memory of that time has been reinforced through the years with an image captured by a newspaper photographer. It now hangs in a frame on her wall. The faded, creased photo shows her beaming, holding a new doll in her hands. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/vietnamese-refugee-pay-it-forward-syrian-family-1.3464777?cmp=rss&cid=news-digests-edmonton That sure is paying it forward.

In 40 years this family will most likely have made a positive impact on their new country because someone reached out.
