Lifesaving Nitric Oxide Fund To Reduce Pulmonary Hypertension In addition to being a by-product of cigarette smoke and rush hour traffic, nitric oxide is used in pediatric intensive care. The inner lining of blood vessels uses nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. By dilating the veins there is less blood returned to the heart, thereby decreasing the heart's work. We've been using this frequently after surgery with our kids and it has been critical to our lifesaving work. Please give today to ensure that these surgeries are not in vain - that we are able to deal with both the cause and the effects of congenital heart disease in these dear Iraqi children.

Official Wrapping Up at Zamwa Gallery

June 15, 2008 by Jeremy 

Today marked the official wrap up of the Preemptive Love exhibition at Zamwa Gallery. We met with a representative from the US State Department, gave an update on our work, and spoke briefly about a few opportunities on the horizon for future networking together. 

 Many thanks from all of us at PLC (formerly BSSL) to the US State Department and their incredibly capable staff here in Iraq. We are very grateful to Rostam Aghala at Zamwa Gallery for his partnership on this project. Thanks also to the First Lady of Iraq, Hero Talabani, for her kind endorsement of the exhibition and the tour she gave to her foreign guests from the RAND Corporation while they were in country a few weeks ago.  

If you haven’t bought a book of Kurdish art yet to fund heart surgeries for Iraqi children, you can do so here.   You can also view all of the art in the gallery before buying right here. 

 Best, 

 The PLC
