The Metchosin Refugee Sponsorship Group is monitoring Nadeem's situation in Thailand. We have received good news that our application for private sponsorship has been officially recognized and is being processed by the Government of Canada. We have also received more offline donations, which has helped our fundraising efforts.
However Nadeem, Rahana and their daughter remain in a precarious situation. Even with their status as UNHCR refugees, they don't have official papers in Thailand and could face detention or deportation if found by Thai authorities. For this reason, their housing is also precarious.
For now, we wait and hope for the best. We continue to raise funds for their expenses when they arrive. We will update you all as things progress.
