Children in schools across Toronto - and elsewhere in Canada - created cards to welcome Syrian refugees to the city. They learned how to write greetings in Arabic and even how to write right to left.  Sara Hildebrand of Millennium Kids led the workshops in schools across Toronto, showing students how make welcome cards for Syrian refugees.  Millennium Kids is a grassroots group that promotes children's awareness of the United Nations' "millennium development goals."
