Welcome to this New Blog - Children's Voice from Iraq

This Blog will speak for ALL the children of Iraq, a voice for the millions of Iraqi children who have grown up under war, sanctions, Saddam and now terrorists. We will speak for the children who have lost their moms and dads, brothers or sisters, or their best friends from the school or playground. We will speak for children who can't go to school instead having to work on the streets. We will speak for the children who never had even a single toy. We will speak for the children whose flame of hope is flickering and in danger of going out...

This Blog is authored solely by persons from Iraq and sponsored by IraqKids.Org... an organization dedicated to helping orphan, fatherless, abandoned street children and schools in Iraq. You can learn more about IraqKids.Org by visiting their website www.iraqkids.org

This is a great idea! My daughter is 11, and she and I can read these stories together and talk about what we learn, so that she can come to understand what life is like for the children of Iraq and share the stories with her friends.

Thanks to you for this opportunity to share and learn from each other.

Melissa, if you really want to know things about Iraqi kids you should contact any Iraqi family near you and sit down and talk to them. An anonmous blog is not the way. If you don't have an Iraqi family contact the Iraqi embassy and ask them to locate nearest Iraqi group to join them in their meetings. Do that that is the best opportunity to share an learn from.
