Australian Tim Buxton and his wife Sarah from the US together with their three young children landed in Kurdistan Region (Iraq) in 2014 the day before Islamic State overran nearby city of Mosul. Today they remain there, building camps for refugees, restoring dignity and hope, and providing pathways back to independent living for those running from persecution.
