47 degrees!
That's how high the temperature reached in Nasiriyah, Iraq on the day the team lead this activity.
Get your sunscreen, hat and gardening gloves, we're off to Iraq!
Children should be free to enjoy, childhood!
Playing outdoors and exploring the local park is joy most of us can fondly remember.
Today, in Nasiriyah, Iraq children can not enjoy this experience and that's where your gift is at work.
Our programmes are designed so all children, especially girls are included.
Iraq is struggling with environmental degradation, desertification and deforestation. The effects are directly felt by children especially with the lack of safe, green spaces.
A key focus of World Vision Iraq this year is collaboration, with the goal of revitalising spaces and resources for children to be, children.
This large-scale tree-planting campaign is one of many initiatives that unifies many local organisations, including government.
Whilst lots of organisations can work on good campaigns for children, a key differentiator for the World Vision project is the insistence that children are included and that their voice is heard.
Your gift is ensuring children are included in the decisions and actions that will affect their futures!
