 welcoming 3 year old Mustafa Ghazwan and his father Ghazwan al-Nidawi, 
 University Professor of Media and Public Relations at Bagdad University. 
 Listen to their compelling story of life in Iraq before and after 2003 and 
 their eventual trip to the US for medical care sponsored by No More 
 Victims. Meet Cole Miller, founder of No More Victims.\nAlso joining our 
 panel will be Rana Madanat, a local Jordanian, building libraries for 
 children in Jordan, and Ruth Friend of Ruth Group.\nAudience participation 
 is welcome.\nAs our community effort in citizen  diplomacy, Ruth Group 
 sponsored Mustafa to come from Iraq to the US for medical care through the 
 organization No More Victims. UCSF doctors were found with the help of the 
 Iraq Action Group at UCSF and Westminster Presbyterian Church donated funds 
 for Mustafa’s speech therapy. Many of you also contributed time and funds 
 to make this happen. Our collaboration has grown exponentially since 
 Mustafa and Ghazwan’s arrival and their story is both heartwarming and 
 devastating. Our circle is ever widening, and we have been wonderfully 
 surprised at how many Middle Eastern friends we have here in our local 
 community. We hope this evening will contribute to widening the circle to 
 include you.\n\nput up by david quinley of marin green party council
