In Khanaqin, Iraq, Mercy Corps and the local branch of the National Olympic Committee organized a wonderful festival for the International Day of Peace. The day involved children reading a poem and releasing white doves before a football match in Azadi Stadium.
The English club — a group of college students and members of the Global Citizen Corps program — participated in the festival, some as organizers and others as football players.
