Iraq
A little good news from Iraq
2006-07-25
A small story here, that Iraqi college kids from Anbar have the means and the motivation to help their fellow countrymen. Unless of course, they are being directed by the Iranians or the Learned Elders of Islam...
Hosts of college students from the west Anbar governorate of Iraq are spending their summer holidays doing volunteer work in hospitals, clinics and camps for displaced persons.

"We can't just sit back and watch conditions deteriorate without offering some help, especially given the current lack of professionals," says Othman Bakr, a 24-year-old student of medicine from Ramadi.

The Ministry of Displacement and Migration reported last month that more than 150,000 Iraqis had been displaced countrywide due to sectarian violence. Many NGOs devoted to the relief effort, meanwhile, have complained about a serious lack of supplies and assistance.
