“I’m a part of the digital exchange program to Iraq and it’s similar to the foreign exchange student program. Since Iraq is an active war zone they aren’t allowed to send students here. We talked through Skype, Facebook, and through google classroom and we do a lot of fun projects together. We will have a virtual host family that we will be paired with in Iraq. The ratio of students in 70 Iraq kids to 30 to US kids which means there is way more Iraq Kids. This is a really cool opportunity to get to learn about what it’s like to live in Iraq.”
