Putting a Face on Collateral Damage: The Life of a School Teacher in Iraq
This Tuesday, September 11, UGBC and the Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies Student Association are sponsoring an event as part of the Iraq Awareness Series. Nesreen, a schoolteacher from Iraq, is coming to speak about her experiences. The organization 121 Contact Iraq was founded by Bruce Wallace, a school teacher in New York who had lost a family member in the 9/11 tragedy. He sought a pen-pal connection between his class in New York and Nesreen's class in Baghdad. Through human contact, Bruce strives to put a human face on war.

September marks the four year and six month anniversary of the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. What is the situation now? What does the Petraus report tell us? Why do many U.S. soldiers oppose the war? What is life like for Iraqi civilians and refugees? Why is there so much talk about the “oil law”? What can we do to stop this war and occupation? Get answers to these questions and bring your own questions. This co-sponsored by NE American Friends Service Committee, Lexington Justice with Peace Committee, Waltham Concerned Citizens, and Weston Dialogues for Peace and Justice.

Some say the United States is determined to start a war with Iran over its nuclear policy or its alleged role in Iraq. Others say that to resolve the war in Iraq, the United States must enter into constructive dialogue with Iran. What do Iranian citizens think and what is the role of US citizens who want to see peace and stability in the region? This forum is co-sponsored by the Middle East Crisis Coalition, NE American Friends Service Committee, Lexington Justice with Peace Committee, Waltham Concerned Citizens, and Weston Dialogues for Peace and Justice.
October 27- Saturday, 12 Noon
