… every face we encountered in Kurdistan-IRAQ, with the Yazidi people, carried a story of trauma … yet hope, that one day, they could return home from the camps of tents and temporary locations they live in.
This trip was rich in helping, coming alongside, and in wide variety of experiences, all new to me, being my first time in the Middle East.
Brief:
* serving Yazidis displaced by years of conflict, by providing essential food supplies
* TCD-Transformational Community Development training, for development and their long-term ability to provide for their families
* Initial relational connections with those in Kurdistan diplomatic leadership
* warmth via diesel fuel for their heaters in locations without any heat
* commitments to return and expand our TCD approach to development and sustainability
* commitments and purchases from local entrepreneurs (soap, in this case), who empower these local communities in vision and new ideas for sustainability
* local resources purchased and utilized for the distribution to Yazidis … you would be amazed at how a few thousand dollars of food goods, goes a very long way in relating to local vendors (always our policy when possible)
I cannot thank you enough for all who gave to this trip!

Team TCD Past Global Hope Network International is leading a short-term team to go to Lebanon and Northern Iraq to bring help and hope to Syrian refugees and displaced Yazidi families. Lebanon still struggles having almost 2 million Syrian refugees, within their borders, who fled the war in Syria to find refuge and safety. Some left their homes as long as 8 years ago and remain refugees to this day as they try to make a daily living to provide and care for their families. We will serve refugees living north of Beirut. We will visit the GHNI clinic, meet with Syrian refugees, who live as best they can with multiple families in temporary housing and others living in trap houses and tent communities. Northern Iraq Many Yazidi families still suffer from the affects of war with ISIS. Many people remain displaced even though the ISIS caliphate has been defeated. There is still a great amount of danger, preventing them from returning home because of ongoing conflictsbetween various militia and foreign military as well as much of the infrastructure and their homes are destroyed. We will serve Yazidi families who had to flee when ISIS overran their communities. With the Syrian and Yazidi families we will distribute food and other necessary items, have fun days with children and parents, teach lessons in Transformational Community Development, Leadership, Family Life, and overall encourage families living in uncertain hopelessness . This trip is a wonderful opportunity to bring help and hope to people who have gone through tremendous suffering and loss.
TCD training will teach you an effective, low cost, relational way of bringing transformation that teaches impoverished communities to become self-sustaining hope-filled lives. You’ll also experience “live SKYPE” sessions with nationals doing TCD!

TCD – Children’s Lesson – Nepal
Success Story:
Pathwari is now 58 years old. This family is not educated and struggled with their own strength. When we started TCD class they rejected and denied to join. He said what kind of lesson I need in this old age. But now I started house to house visitation and I taught them clearly about TCD lesson related to sanitation, health care, income generation, disease prevention and nutritional food etc. They are very happy and expected more TCD classes and said really this program is important for us. Please sister come and teach our backward community people.
I am Niloy Malo, member of Lotus TCD(Transformational Community Development) group at Ghoraghat, Dinajpur district, Bangladesh. I read in grade seven. We are two brothers and sister. We do not have land for vegetable cultivation. My parents are working a small work in this village. We have 5 members in our family. Before join my family with TCD we were very poor. I saw everyday my parents do lot of quarrel. But after having teaching of TCD my parent’s attitude changed and we are having peaceful situation our families. I am taught many subjects which helped in my education. I have learned how to take care and keep good health from TCD groups.
There is some uncultivated land near hour house which is belongs to our neighbors. I helped my father to plant papaya tree and vegetable garden in that land near our house. After few months the papaya tree grow-up and have flower and fruits.
Now our family do not need to buy vegetable from market, also I distribute to our neighbors. We get vitamin, mineral and others which we need. I give thanks to TCD group for given me a wonderful opportunity to learn and utilize in my life.
My family also taking all decision together. Before we took loan from micro credit but now we start small savings.

AMMODI’S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
My name is Ammodi I am 12 years old. My school is Unanvitiya, I am in grade 7. My parents work on paddy fields. They are paid daily for the work they do. When there is no work on paddy fields they work part time on tea and rubber estates as labors.
They come home with soiled cloths dobbed with mud as they work in the fields; they are so tired that they have to rest for a few hours before they take a wash. I have to prepare the tea and night meal. I feel so sorry to know they get so tired to give me a good education so that I will not do the same job that they do, that’s what they tell me.
After School in her village …
This made me think of my future plans. I have decided to be a teacher. As teachers get a lot of holidays they are always dressed up and enjoy their work with the children. They are respected my children and parents.
I was told that dreams come true, for me plans also definitely work if you apply yourself. Thank you GHNI for being a part of my plan, opening up a tutoring centre in our village. I can now make my plans come true.
