Doran: Abdulhey and Catholic Diocese

doran: Start life all over again So, they really have to start life all over again, just like any young person going to school for the first time and starting a new career, Doran said Monday on CBC News Compass, according to CBC. Feeyah Abdulhey agrees that improving his English speaking skills will help him find a job. But for those who havent been as fortunate, the lack of English language skills and not having professional credentials recognized in Canada have been major roadblocks to finding a job, said Doran, refugee sponsorship co-ordinator with the Catholic Diocese of Prince Edward Island. In Syria, Abdulhey worked as a painter, but he hasnt been able to find employment on P.E.I. Abdulhey arrived on the Island with his wife and nine children four months ago. Abdulhey hopes his children continue with their school studies, eventually go to university and have a future. After fleeing Syria, the family spent time in a refugee camp in Turkey.
