I drafted a pattern from a pair of shorts I owned to create high waisted "Circus ring master" hot pants. Sourced the fabric, cut, and sewed.
A cardlock gas station is the only service offered in Pambrun. The pump on the left is for gasoline and the one on the right is for diesel. The closest grocery store is a small Co-op, ten minutes away in the neighbouring small town of Vanguard. Photo by Lynn Giesbrecht.
“When my husband and I went into the interview room, the women looked very intimidating. She asked us one simple question, ‘why do you want to come to Canada?’ I cried and replied, ‘because I have five children and I don't want their future to go to waste. I want my children to have a better future than the one I had’. I think that really resonated with her, which is why a month later we received a letter of acceptance and eventually came to Canada. Today, I look at my children receiving an education and it fills me with immense joy. My children are fulfilling the dream that I had for myself as a kid but was never able to fulfill it.” Saira Azizi is from Kabul, Afghanistan.
