Mohammad Al Lwisi, his wife Nesreen Nemeh, their eight-year-old son Yazan, four-year-old daughter Ghazal and two-year-old daughter Manessa arrived in Penticton eleven days ago and welcomed to the South Okanagan.

The Al Lwisi family are now living in their new home in Oliver.

Mohammad & Nesreen Al Lwisi:

“Thank you so much for the warm welcome, Oliver is such a nice place. I really like it in here, as my children are very happy and safe. I also thank the Canadian government for opening the door for us to be here, I really appreciate what our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has done for us. Canada is such a beautiful country, and the people I have met in Oliver are very nice . Thank you so much for the support. I am looking forward to be more involved in the community. Love you Canada.”
