A Nova Scotia woman is heading to Turkey to provide aid after a powerful earthquake devastated the region last week.
Mandeep Dhunna says she couldn’t sit back and watch relief efforts from the comfort of her home. She’s one of two volunteers leaving Canada on Thursday to provide assistance through Khalsa Aid International.
“My parents are worried and my kids are worried about me and I said, ‘Don’t worry, I’m strong’,” she recalls about sharing the news of her departure.
