In your letter, tell about your age, your family, your interests, your school and community. To conclude your letter, you might wish them well.

It will be posted on our website in both English and Arabic. 3) We will send your letter to Iraq and it will be hand-delivered to an Iraqi school during this school year. 4) An Iraqi student will answer your letter.
