In honour of the 2003 Syrian Special Olympics Teams twinning with Wicklow Town. Wicklow Syria Appeal was founded in 2016 by Dermot Costello (1968-2018). In 2017, we decided to focus on what we, the Wicklow community, could do to help the Syrian refugees coming to Ireland. Wicklow Syria Appeal partnered with Nasc, the Migrant and Refugee Rights Centre, to develop and pilot a community sponsorship scheme which supports and reunites a Syrian family who have been separated by the war in Syria. The Al Sulaimans will arrive in Wicklow in April 2018. #communitysponsorship
