This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one;being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard Shaw
A lot of Iraqis for reason or other forced to leave Iraq one day, they were always looking to be back but in this crazy situation , it become one of the impossible things to happen. So they decided to support their brothers who are suffering in Iraq, we centralized their donation in Baghdad and start buying a lot of things which the family need... Winter is coming so cloths are needed .... we bought also food and some toys for those kids who don't know the joy of playing in toys at all .
And to have the true joy of this Eid, me with no. of friends trooped to South of Iraq ( Hilla , Krabala, Kefail, Najaf , Basrah) to meet those families....We met families who never met before , we just knock their doors and say Eid Mubarak to you and spen time with these families was one of the great things which make us feel the true fragrance of Eid!
Some people were afraid but when we talked they understand that we are Iraqis and we should be one family from North to South!
WE meet a woman with five kids because her husband killed , and she's baking to keep her kids alive.One of Team decided to to fix the kitchen roof. Other family has 4 kids, team spent great time putting on their new cloths and playing with toys.
In Basrah , after we meet families there , they insist to invite us for lunch and was one of great lunch invitations which I won't forget.
Please let's all be one family and start feel in peace in our hearts so we can live with! Thanks for all who donate to make those families feel the joy of Eid and especial thanks for Doves Troop ( Saman, Dina , Ali, Farah, Mageed and Saad )! Next Eid Insha allah we will trooped to Northern area to meet more families.
Thanks

Please continue your blog, nice to read words of peace and hope from your country. How I wish I could take my children to visite your country peacefull again and show them how war and fear can turn into peace and brotherwood because of the strenght of heartfull people !
I do agree with Damien - its fabulous to read a little about people like you who are trying to keep life "normal". It must be so difficult to remain positive when there is so much uncertainty and destruction. My thoughts are with you and I hope that soon things will start to improve for you.
Damien - Maggie,
Thanks to be here and share peace thoughts... feel in Peace is one of big things which I missed in my life now and same for all Iraqis, but how to survive without HOPE...
Thanks
