Summer 2009 in Kurdistan, Iraq Delegations

The passports and visas are in the mail. After a very long waiting period for authorization for travel to the cities of northern Iraq, we learned yesterday that the documents should arrive on Saturday, May 30. The people traveling in this first wave organized by me are involved in education K-Graduate school. The second wave to travel in July will be a group of major investors from South Korea, United States and China. The third phase will be scholars working on human rights in the Middle East and includes 21 participants. The bags aren't packed, but sleep is very fleeting as I have awaited this opportunity for more than thirty years.
