Baylor University Students Rally for Iraqi Kids
October 22, 2008 by Jeremy
A group of Baylor University students have started an initiative to raise awareness for 3,000 Arab and Kurdish children waiting in line for life-saving heart surgery outside the country.
By attempting to sell a couple hundred tshirts on campus and by using a display of PLC pinwheels in the park they hope to raise the necessary funds for these children while educating their classmates about the social injustices faced by Iraqi families in the wake of Saddam’s regime and the current conflict.
The traction at Baylor University comes on the heels of two summer interns returning to their campus and sharing their excitement and concern for the things they saw in Iraq this summer.
