awesome fundraiser! no comments on this page?! how strange! I'm just watching the PBS special "Braving Iraq". Many in the western world are unaware of the ruined marshes in Iraq. I am a student of history and try to learn as much as possible! don't give up hope, every day is new, perfect and better than the last.
