| They are waiting for hope |
In these days, we have many global issues, and one of them is REFUGEES and IDPs. Refugees are the people who have been forced to leave their city or country mostly because of war. There are many places that host refugees, and The Kurdistan Region of Iraq is one of them. It is hosting a large number of refugees. Most of them are from Iraq and Syria because of the wars that happened there recently. According to the researches that have been made by (KRG), there are 850,000 Internal Displaced People (IDP) in Kurdistan; most of them are from Neineveh, Diyala, and Anbar. Also, according to the UNHCR's researches, there are 216,000 refugees from Syria live in Kurdistan especially in Duhok, but the problem is Kurdistan cannot host that large number of refugees and IDP because Kurdistan is already suffering from financial problems. We are facing a lot of problems here. For example, their place is not for that large number. They do not have drinkable water. Also, they do not have enough mount of medicine.
We are a group of students studying Academic Preparatory Program (APP) in the American University of Iraq, Sulaimania. We have to finish Service Learning Project in the end of this semester. This project is helping both of the AUIS students and the refugees and IDPs. It helps the students to get experience and improve their English language, and it helps refugees and IDPs to provide them some necessary things especially for their children, so if you can, give your support by donating money.
