America Loves Iraqis

Hey everyone!
My brother, Unkey Dino, has this great website (America Loves Iraqis) where all his visits to a local clinic in Baghdad are documented with photographs. He has recently begun writing blogs (found under the "news blog" tab on the home page) that include humorous anecdotes and hilarious personal musings gleaned from those visits. I think his stories do a great job of illuminating the degree of need there in that violence-riddled country, as well as reminding us that on a very basic level of daily living and survival, we are not so different after all, whether we speak English or Arabic. Unkey Dino also reminds us that there is still good being done in Iraq today. So, check back with him often for funny stories from the other side of the world! There is a link to his site in our side bar entitled "America Loves Iraqis," as well as the one in this post. The actual web address is http://www.sheikhdan.com/. Thanks for all your hard work and caring, Unkey Dino! You're an example to us all.
