Mohamad Awada said he cries every time he watches the news about the explosion in Lebanon — his home country. Awada volunteers with the Alberta Muslim Social Association in Calgary, which is collecting donations to support the victims of last week's devastating explosion. "God bless us that that explosion took place after 6 o'clock, and the port closes at 3:30 p.m. The Alberta Muslim Social Association is collecting donations to send to Lebanon, to support the victims of the explosion in Beirut. "To the Calgary community, please be generous, please try to help as much as you can … good things always bring good things.
