As a dedicated community member, Arreg was drawn to the Zebra Centre for its commitment to creating positive change for children from all walks of life.

Arreg was born in Calgary but she and her family have visited countries all around the world, from England, Spain, and Portugal, to Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Qatar.
