Help raise funds for Iraqi students to earn an education! Donate as little as $1 or as much as you would like!
The Rally for Iraq Scholarship Endowment was founded in March of 2008 by a group of young Iraqi-American volunteers and their friends. Rally for Iraq’s goal is to sponsor need-based, higher-level educational opportunities for Iraqis to study in U.S. colleges and graduate schools so that they have the skills to contribute to the reconstruction of their homeland. We envision that Rally for Iraq Scholars will contribute directly towards Iraq’s future success and will serve as positive role models for other students in their country. We firmly believe that both Iraqi and American societies have much to offer and much to gain from this type of educational and cultural exchange. Please visit http://rallyforiraq.org/andcounting.html to place your much-needed donation! Thank you! |

Pre-war era: they were sent to dungeons, tortured and mal treated in every single aspect then when they agreed the war as a price to get rid of one of the darkest ages in Baghdads history, they ended with more killing and losses... ! Now all they can get is REGRETS?!!!

Ur - the birth place of Abraham and one of the cradles of civilisation - where only small teams have
been working since 2005. "When the (large-scale) excavations restart, tons of antiquities will see the light of day, filling
entire museum wings," enthused Dhaif Moussin, who is in charge of protecting a site that has been
