Syrian Refugees: Sister Nur and Nur Alsayyed

syrian refugees: Abed & Nur Alsayyed Abed watches the presentations at the university with his sister Nur on his lap, according to CBC. Sarah Lawrynuik/CBC Abed Alsayyed, 12, stood bravely in front of the crowd of about 50 people that had gathered at the university to hear him speak. Lethbridge is already home to more than 300 Syrian refugees, most of them government sponsored. Only having learned English last January when he came to Lethbridge, he spoke impeccably. His younger sister Nur, 3, ran around the hall fascinated by the media's cameras and all the attention. I'm from Syria and I've been here one year and it's been amazing, he started.
