In the spirit of promoting nonviolence among Iraqi youth, IARP and its partner the Muslim Peacemaker Teams (MPT) have arranged friendly football matches for its soccer team with other teams in Iraq.
The goal of the soccer team is to build friendship between the various sects and regions of Iraq. Along with matches, MPT coordinates social events for the teams and communities where the matches take place. The events provide an opportunity for MPT to talk about its work for peace and nonviolence in Iraq and for participants to interact and build relationships.

The school has 235 kids. Thanks to donor St. Augustine Church for providing clean water for these kids.
