Hello Potential Host Families!!!

Nacel Open Door has created a new relationship with an agency in Iraq who has presented us with 3 students to try to find placements for during the 2023/2024 school year!!

As you can imagine, this is proving to be a difficult task — likely due to stigmas attached to Iraq and the recent War/occupation.

What an *amazing* opportunity, however, for us to learn about life in and the culture of Iraq, an amazing opportunity to teach our children and schools about acceptance, and an AWESOME opportunity to foster diplomacy, proving the US to be a wonderful Country with wonderful people!!!!

The 3 students from Iraq are:
Rozh Nozad — 15 y/o Boy who wants to be a doctor and enjoys board games, reading, hiking/backpacking, soccer, bicycling and automotives. His father is a mechanic and his mother is a housewife. He has a younger brother. He also plays the piano.

Miran Salar — 15 y/o Boy who has had 10 years of English, and he enjoys arts and crafts, sporting events, movies, religious activities, video games, soccer, swimming and running track. He would also like to be a doctor and has a 12 year old brother at home.

Las Azad — 17 y/o Boy who enjoys camping, board games, cards, museums, body building, swimming, mountain climbing, reading and soccer. His father is a mechanical engineer, and his mother is an English teacher. Las Azad has had 11 years of English and hopes to study Electrical Engineering in a hope to help rebuild his Country.

*IF* you know of anyone who might be interested in hosting one of these boys, please share this post and let me know!!! ❤️. FB message me and we can start the process to becoming a host family. Thank you for opening your homes and hearts. Barb Dean, Coordinator for Nacel Open Door.
