A certificate of gratitude and appreciation
It's a beauty of a human being to light up the road of many confused
people and take them by the hand to the land of security and peace helping
them cross the waves of failure and shortcomings.
In my name and the name of the Syrian Community in Edmonton, we thank
Action For Healthy Communities for all the honourable services they
provided the Syrian Community, and special appreciation to Mrs. Rola
Chehayeb, words and sentences are the least expressive way to show her
excellent personality.
So thank you, thank you, thank you.
