We first met Obeid Kaifo at his Denver restaurant a year ago, as he told us about his search for his extended family in Syria. Today, he hasn't given up.

Syria has fallen out of the news, yet Obeid Kaifo is hungry for every word of what's happening.

He and his parents live in Denver, where they own a restaurant. His parents were actually born in Syria, and a lot of his family still lives there. Kaifo's still searching for more than a dozen family members through word of mouth and social media.

This week, we checked back in, a year after his first appearance on Next.
