- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
The objective of the program is to promote mutual understanding between people of the USA and Iraq by promoting interaction with peers and families, service learning activities at universities and other facilities, and the creation of a service project to implement upon returning to Iraq. They will also participate in cultural outings, social gatherings and recreational activities. Thus, we hope to inspire and create a new generation of globally-minded leaders.
We are in need of families to host our guests (1-2 / household). Host families would be expected to provide breakfast and dinner daily, a place to sleep and weekday transportation to and from a designated location, probably at Whole Foods on Wade Avenue, Raleigh and Cary Towne Center in Cary. Host families are free to entertain their guests as they please, for the weekends during their visit. Host families and host siblings are invited to participate in all the activities.
All the participants will be carefully selected and screened by the US Embassy in Iraq.
If you or anyone you know, would be interested in participating, please contact: Mrs. Maria Adoskina, Program Director, madoskina@internationalfocus.org. Or Sam Lasris: samlasris@hotmail.com. or our office at 919 782 0552
