We All Know

We all know what we and the people of Iraq hope for, for Iraq.

We Hope

We hope for the Iraqi military and police force to be well trained to help insure Iraq’s security.

We Provide

We want the electrical grid and water systems to be up and running, so the people of Iraq have an uninterrupted flow of electricity and water.

We Want

We want massive reconstruction and humanitarian efforts to begin.
