Four years of helping kids and students within Iraq, Syria and Turkey.

in #charity6 years ago

My friends, It's been almost 6 months since I started my SteemIt account.

As some will know I am an aerospace engineer who has been supporting STEM education, schools, kids, and refugees with their education, throughout Iraq, Syria and Turkey.

This has been going on for over 4 years since I started the first STEM Education project in Iraq, during the height of I.S.
Back then, the proverbial was well and truly hitting the fan and doing so from all directions. Unexpectedly the greatest difficulties I faced were from SJW mindset people back in the UK who mistook the Islamic State to be peaceful rebels and that I was somehow 'racist' for saying otherwise. Without support, I continued by myself at first.

This year may be the last for these projects but I will continue on until I can no longer do so. If it stops then I will be proud at what has been achieved and the tens of thousands of people that I managed to help in some capacity.

However, below are links to the various posts that I've written about some of those projects, most of which are still active. Your feedback has well appreciated.
