Thank you for these photographs, and for helping us hold in our minds and hearts the experiences of the people of Irak. On this day in the U.S., Thanksgiving Day is being celebrated, a day marking (sometimes overly so) the bounty of the harvest: people gather to feast and be with families. To see on this day especially, those who have lost their loved ones, and have little to eat is something we Americans cannot, should not ever lose awareness of.
Please, readers who can, consider a gift to the Red Crescent: http://donate.ifrc.org/.
In peace,
