Iraqi Stories 

*Adani is an Assyrian-Iraqi married man from Tilisqof, Iraq, who used to work as an electrician in Iraq. They have been in Jordan for three years, and the situation is hard. They are not able to work and pay for their daily life expenses. Adani’s 25-year-old daughter is an artist who paints oil paintings. We had lunch with them, and it was very delicious.

He was injured back in the 1990s during the Iran-Iraq war which resulted in a lot of surgeries of heart and liver making him a crippled man. His wife is crippled, too, because of a pelvic fracture that happened in a bus accident.

English Class 

This month’s English class was good. The teacher started to get deeper in English grammar as well as started teaching them the vowels, consonants and word pronunciation. The children were getting a little bored at the beginning, but they had fun at the end because they played a game. They will be graduating next month.

Goat Loan Programme, Jordan

Al Khalideia Village 

We have worked with Um Ahmad more than two and a half years. Now the project is complete and she is graduated. She was given 14 goats from the project and she has returned our 14 goats. The plan is to sell our 14 goats because they are old, and they have been used by three different families. We will buy new goats and start the project with another new family.   

Thank you!

English Class 

This month we taught the children more about letters because they are so weak in the alphabet. It's a bit challenging. Their improvement is slow as they aren’t reviewing what they learnt in class when they are home, and some have been absent this month for a little while.
