IRAQ : TRAINING WORKERS FOR PEACE AND RECONSTRUCTION

55 Iraqi youth from Baghdad, Basra, Suleymania, Karbala, and Najaf traveled to Bangalore for a month-long Youth Leadership Training Program and graduate as youth leaders. As youth leaders, they will work for sustainable development and offer trauma relief workshops in their communities.

• “There is anger and hatred all around Iraq. Iraqis need to learn how to manage anger and reconcile with the present. This requires a shift in the mind and a change of heart. That’s where spirituality has a big role to play. We are working to facilitate this process.” - Sri Sri
