’The
Plunder of Iraqs Heritage
The
bombings and the looting that occurred after the war have caused substantial
harm to unique cultural heritage in the form of damage or loss of irreplaceable
artifacts, ancient structures and archeological sites.
’Attempting
to Recover Iraqs Stolen Heritage
The
information gathered by UNESCO will assist Interpol’s mission to establish a
database of Iraqi artefacts suspected of being stolen. This database, it is
hoped, will assist customs agencies around the world in identifying stolen
artefacts being smuggled across international borders.

Children
to Children Diaries: Peace notes
We
visited anti-war websites like iacenter.org
and antiwar.com.
Thought of publishing one of our hand-made books in Bengali, “Haat tolo jara
juddho chaona” meaning “Those against war, raise your hands” with
subtitles in different languages. We started translating the book hoping it to
be published on August 6 this year.

international organization War Child, which focuses on the health and welfare of
children living in war-torn areas of the world.
