ARIA Society is committed to serving the Iranian and Farsi-speaking immigrants, refugees, and women in our community. Through settlement assistance, language support, and cultural orientation, we aim to help newcomers understand their rights, access Canadian institutions, and establish themselves in a country they will one day call home. We also offer programming specifically for Iranian and Farsi-speaking women, designed to address the stark realities many have faced: sexual violence, domestic abuse, human rights violations, and systemic barriers to advancement in certain academic and professional domains. The need within the Iranian diaspora runs deep, but the response to it has so far been shallow. We are working hard to change that.
In August 2007 we started the "Gaby Davis Foundation" in memory of our daughter Gabrielle Davis who lost her battle with childhood cancer in March 2007. Her brave fight against cancer and her thoughtfulness towards other children with cancer inspired us to help other families fighting this terrible beast. The Gaby Davis Foundation seeks to improve a child's quality of life during cancer treatment by providing financial aid and support to children with cancer and their families at BC Children's Hospital, Surrey Memorial Hospital and Canuck Place. We believe that children with cancer will receive the most consistent medical care when their parents can focus on them, rather than the additional burdens caused by a cancer diagnosis.
