Student 2 Student Coalition, a subgroup of HelpIraq.org purchased supplies needed by the students during their schooling. The items purchased include stethoscopes, lab coats, and blood pressure cuffs. These college students are trying to complete grad school in the dangerous city of Kirkuk. These brave students are determined to finish school. They were attending school in Mosul prior to June 2014, before being forced out by Muslim extremists and are not able to attend school in safer areas in Kurdistan for 2 reasons: 1- The curriculum in Kurdistan is in Kurdish and not Arabic. 2- The universities are full in Kurdistan. Most are in Medical, Dental, Pharmacy & Engineering programs which are not available in Kurdistan.Â
Total Cost: $2,460
