Dina is an El Salvadorian school teacher who uprooted her life in her home country and moved to Canada to secure a better future for her and her family. This Portrait Project explores the life of Dina and focuses on the experience of family migration. In 2009, Dina made the decision to leave El Salvador for the safety and wellbeing of her family and to escape the gang violence threatening the streets of Sonsonate. She left behind a close-knit family of 12 brothers and sisters to pursue a new life in Canada with a family of her own, but misses her home dearly. Now, living in London, Ontario with her husband and 3 grown children, Dina speaks as a member of the Hispanic community as she tells her captivating story of adapting to life here in Canada as a refugee.
