The Chairperson of the Amal Project "Dured Alhalabe" wins the young scot community award 2017

From volunteering at a local food bank, helping at the Christmas lights switch-on and making up hampers, Dured can’t do enough for the community who gave him a home. This time last year, the future looked bleak for Dured, who was living in in Jordan after fleeing with his family from the war-torn Syrian city of Homs. But in February 2016, the Alhalabes’ lives changed for the better when they were resettled in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, as part of the Syrian Vulnerable Persons’ Relocation Scheme

Grateful to the people who welcomed his family with open arms, Dured has been doing everything he can to give something back to the community. As well as volunteering at local projects, Dured, whose home city has been destroyed in the fighting between President Assad’s forces and revolutionaries, has become a spokesperson for the 70 Syrian refugees resettled in Aberdeenshire.

Dured, who has endured unimaginable suffering, likes to think of himself as a new Scot

The Amal project was invited to participate in a drama project called  "Queens of Syria" to convey the cause and suffering of the Syrians through the drama

The first stage of the project was to transfer Syrian's stories and experiences to dramatic stories to be a series later. The gathering included some members of the Syrian families in Aberdeenshire, and others from Aberdeen, in addition to some writers and project officials

On this day of last year, 23/02/2016, at 2 o'clock, the first Syrian families arrived to Aberdeenshire (AL-Halabi family + Abu Zaed family)

The families and the resettlement team celebrated this wonderful day for them

The families took this opportunity to thank the resettlement team and all the volunteers and people who helped them to make their new life here
