Aden Ahmed settles into life in Nanaimo, far away from his Somalian origins, in a “country full of opportunities”
Aden Ahmed is the second student brought to Nanaimo through the World University Service of Canada Student Refugee Program, which has helped more than 1,000 young men and women pursue education and resettle in this country as permanent residents. He has just completed a year in business studies at Vancouver Island University. VIU students have contributed financially to make Aden’s education there possible.
We speak with Aden Ahmed and with Michelle Manks of World University Service of Canada’s Student Refugee Program.
