Mrs. June Jako president of AAS declared that due to the spread of the epidemic, this year was a little bit different for us. We were unable to organize social events, so we worked to organize fundraising campaigns online. We held our regular monthly meetings through Zoom Online. She added despite the spread of the COVID-19 we were able to fund important charitable projects.
Regarding those projects, Mrs. June confirmed that the society was able to contribute to projects inside Iraq, such as restoring the roof of a school in Alqosh, establishing a water network in the Bebadi village, as well as contributing to projects for transferring students and teachers to certain rates.
She confirmed that the society also helped patients and providing a food basket for 150 families in Aqrah. She added that the last project was to contribute to the repair of street lighting in the villages of Nahla region.
