Touching People’s Lives

To a certain extent, TEDxBaghdad Foundation has become more involved in transforming people’s lives into something wonderful, and has been doing so for the last year or so.
The procurement of such an effect did not come easy, as all the volunteers of TEDxBaghdad engaged in providing help and hope to the children in Baghdad suburbs, with the help of a couple of Iraqi non-profit organizations.
No more than ten days ago, TEDxBaghdad team coordinated a visit to a local non-profit, namely AlTa’awn Charity Association, to bring joy to the children, and the volunteers spent 3 hours with the children, teaching them how to draw innovatively and engaging them in funny activities.

The smiles that were drawn on the children’s faces, are simply, priceless.
