Below are some images of children at Al-Kufa Kindergarten in Kufa, Iraq, where a small water purifier unit was recently installed by the Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project and its partner in Iraq, the Muslim Peacemaker Teams. The school has 235 kids. Thanks to donor St. Augustine Church for providing clean water for these kids.

The delegation from Najaf to Minneapolis headed home to Iraq on October 2nd after a productive 2 weeks. The delegates met with hundreds of Americans and set a strong foundation for further connections and peace-building activities between the two cities and countries. You can read about their visit here and here. Below are photos from the delegates’ visit.
One of the delegates, Dr. Najim Askouri, writes,”Thank you very much for your hospitality towards us during our visit to Minneapolis. We spent beautiful days to be remembered for a long time. We hope that the sister city relationship will be promoted and fulfilled for the benefits of people and the cause of peace. God bless you all.
Your faithful brother,
Najm Abed Askori Khudhur(Ph.D.)
Najaf, Iraq”
