About Us
Our memories make us travel to the misty past, so we know that the Iraqis never lived comfortably and their lives were not luxurious, and unfortunately they suffered from the wars and pain that crushed the heart..We were and are still passionate about learning, and loving to get a look at everything new, but because of the types of neglect that generation after generation was subjected to, some of what we were proud of have been forgotten. So to build Iraq without crack.. Under the slogan: We renew mind, we renew hope.
TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
