“When I heard in Canada it������Ƶapp free — Oh my God!” she said. “I was so happy.”

Her kids range in age from seven to 13, Grades 2 to 7, all in St. Andrew������Ƶapp in Toronto������Ƶapp Rexdale neighbourhood. The Jarjass kids spent a year-and-a-half in crowded Syrian classrooms with a mass of other refugee students.

Syrian and Iraqi kids fought in and out of the classrooms.
