3
00:00:29,729 --> 00:00:34,868
I've been a doctor for many
years and the most rewarding
thing is to be able to

4
00:00:34,901 --> 00:00:38,238
help the community.
But recently,

5
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:44,210
I have become inspired by
a nonprofit organization
helping displaced people in

6
00:00:44,477 --> 00:00:47,514
Kurdistan. My friend is
sending me updates about
these cities in Kurdistan.

7
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:50,750
It is so intense to see how
destroyed these cities are.

8
00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:53,887
I couldn't believe what
my eyes were seeing.

9
00:00:59,526 --> 00:01:01,494
Jeez,

10
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:06,900
this is crazy...

11
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:09,736
So you are at ground zero.

12
00:01:09,769 --> 00:01:12,605
And this is four and a half years later.

13
00:01:14,941 --> 00:01:17,010
I've been to
Kurdistan three times.

14
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:22,816
Been over there on relief
trips both with refugees and
to get the orphan program

15
00:01:22,849 --> 00:01:25,785
started and to see how things
are working over there.

16
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:29,322
The refugee crisis is
a combination of ISIS,

17
00:01:29,355 --> 00:01:34,194
violence caused by ISIS in
Iraq but also the Syrian
War so because of the

18
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:38,031
conflict you get refugees and
IDPs from all over the region.

19
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:42,202
And because the Kurdish region
is actually very stable
relative to the surrounding

20
00:01:42,235 --> 00:01:44,170
countries, that's where
everybody tends to go to,

21
00:01:44,204 --> 00:01:46,539
and that's where the majority
of all the UN camps are.

22
00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:51,845
Wow. It's completely destroyed.

23
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,148
I've known the Kramer's,

24
00:01:55,181 --> 00:02:00,019
especially Jerry Kramer
for about 35 years now.

25
00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:03,256
And been involved on/off
with Love for the Least.

26
00:02:03,256 --> 00:02:07,026
And then about three or
four years ago became much
more heavily involved when

27
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:08,495
they started working
in Northern Iraq.

28
00:02:13,366 --> 00:02:17,303
Let everybody know we are the
soldier of the Islamic state,

29
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:19,739
we are coming with
permission from God.

30
00:02:21,574 --> 00:02:25,812
Wow. But love is coming
here. It is true. Yeah.

31
00:02:25,845 --> 00:02:27,147
But love is coming here.

32
00:02:32,585 --> 00:02:36,222
They just deface everything.

33
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:42,061
They tunnel between the houses.

34
00:02:45,198 --> 00:02:47,400
So that's an ISIS tunnel system.

35
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:55,335
We asked for God to fill
this community with your
presence and your hope that

36
00:03:55,368 --> 00:04:00,340
this place once again is
Holy unto you and that your
name is worshiped here and

37
00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:02,342
praised above all.

38
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:07,247
We bless your heart and
your plans and your vision
for your people here.

39
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,185
We ask you to give them
courage, hope, faith,
patience, steadfastness,

40
00:04:12,218 --> 00:04:18,291
gentleness and joy,
great joy of the Lord within
this community Father God.

41
00:04:18,324 --> 00:04:22,095
We thank you for the people
around the world who have
not forgotten your people

42
00:04:22,128 --> 00:04:24,397
here. We ask you to bless
those who bless others.

43
00:04:25,665 --> 00:04:30,503
I wanted to go and help so
I found out when the next
medical team was going,

44
00:04:30,536 --> 00:04:34,674
and I signed up to go.
I'm going to bring a few
things for the kids there.

45
00:04:34,707 --> 00:04:37,543
I have here some
soccer balls.

46
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:43,016
Very nice soccer balls, so
I'm going to put them in here,

47
00:04:43,716 --> 00:04:47,887
and I'm planning to
give them some cards.

48
00:04:48,521 --> 00:04:52,292
These are some players, so
I'm going to give it to them.

49
00:04:56,996 --> 00:05:00,300
Now, I've got everything I
need, and I'm ready to go.

50
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:11,477
We're based in Duhok in Northern
Iraq right now. Kurdistan.

51
00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:16,916
Which again is important
because it's really the
epicenter for the refugees,

52
00:05:16,949 --> 00:05:19,152
displaced people from ISIS.

53
00:05:19,419 --> 00:05:24,891
So we have about 2 million
displaced people from
ISIS. Syrians, Yazidi,

54
00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:28,428
Christians from the Nineveh
Plains. All right, you know,

55
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:31,864
within 45 minutes of our house.

56
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:36,336
It was a long flight coming
from the US to Europe.

57
00:05:36,369 --> 00:05:39,739
Myself and another volunteer
flew together to Kurdistan.

58
00:05:39,772 --> 00:05:42,442
I was super happy to
meet Jerry and Stacy.

59
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:46,679
Along the way,
we've just picked up

60
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:51,551
this great team of church
partners and friends and
organizations and

61
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:57,623
civic groups that just come
with us and walk with us
and love the least with us

62
00:05:58,391 --> 00:06:00,827
in East Africa and
here in Northern Iraq.

63
00:06:03,429 --> 00:06:06,032
I went to help the refugees
and displaced people

64
00:06:06,065 --> 00:06:07,667
living in the camps
in Kurdistan.

65
00:06:08,301 --> 00:06:13,306
Hundreds of thousands of
people were forced to come
to Kurdistan from Syria

66
00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:15,708
because of the civil war there.

67
00:06:16,943 --> 00:06:22,148
Kurdistan welcomed them and
the United Nations supplied
the tents for the flood

68
00:06:22,181 --> 00:06:24,117
of refugees coming out of Syria.

69
00:06:24,951 --> 00:06:29,856
But people were still
living in the camps with
very little assistance,

70
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:33,259
and I knew that I could
help with medical care.

71
00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:36,529
Our organization is
called Love for the Least,

72
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:39,665
and we've been
around since 2003.

73
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:43,169
We work in Tanzania,

74
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:45,605
we work in Kenya.

75
00:06:45,638 --> 00:06:49,742
And then in 2014 we began
working in Northern Iraq.

76
00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:56,282
The main reason for me
to go to Kurdistan was to

77
00:06:56,315 --> 00:06:59,652
see with my own eyes the
situation there.

78
00:07:00,353 --> 00:07:02,655
We have sent, quite a few,

79
00:07:02,688 --> 00:07:08,694
I think about 14 or 15
medical teams that visited
Kurdistan starting in 2014

80
00:07:08,728 --> 00:07:11,330
when ISIS really kind of
made their push into Mosul,

81
00:07:11,631 --> 00:07:16,602
and it created a huge refugee
flood out of Northern Iraq
into the Kurdish region

82
00:07:16,869 --> 00:07:20,373
where they were put into
UN camps there where
it's a much safer area.

83
00:07:20,406 --> 00:07:22,875
But when ISIS first
went into Mosul,

84
00:07:22,909 --> 00:07:26,479
it created a massive
outflow of refugees,

85
00:07:26,512 --> 00:07:28,648
and that's when we
first started working there.

86
00:07:29,415 --> 00:07:32,218
We help refugees,

87
00:07:32,251 --> 00:07:37,490
the Yazidi in one camp and
then we help the Syrian
refugees in another camp.

88
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:40,593
And then we've worked
with Christian refugees,

89
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:44,564
IDPs in about 40 or so
villages over this time.

90
00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:47,333
So there are about
2 million refugees,

91
00:07:47,366 --> 00:07:53,206
IDPs from ISIS within about
45 minutes drive of our
house here in Northern Iraq.

92
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:55,208
So they are all around us.

93
00:07:55,241 --> 00:07:59,212
There are a million Yazidi left
on the planet, Yazidi people,

94
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:02,482
and a half a million of them
are in UN camps right now.

95
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:07,353
This year about a
quarter million Syrians
right around us also.

96
00:08:07,887 --> 00:08:14,193
So this is a tremendous
place for displaced people.

97
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:21,067
I am here in Iraq. This
is my fifth mission trip.

98
00:08:21,601 --> 00:08:25,972
I came initially being
asked by one of my patients
who's a pastor to come over

99
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:29,909
and do a mission trip
right after ISIS had
come into the country.

100
00:08:29,942 --> 00:08:34,714
So my first trip here
was in 2015, and now
this is my fifth trip.

101
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:43,656
It's a beautiful day
today and we are heading
to the Syrian camps now.

102
00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:47,527
It's about half an hour
from here. I'm expecting
to have a lot of patients,

103
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:50,496
a lot of kids mostly, and
let's see what happens.

104
00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:57,236
The camp where we're going
now is located in the
Northern region of Kurdistan

105
00:08:57,270 --> 00:09:02,375
near Duhok. When you
arrive there, there isn't
that much you can find.

106
00:09:02,408 --> 00:09:06,279
It's a very difficult time
for them after crossing the

107
00:09:06,312 --> 00:09:09,248
border and settling into
a strange land.

108
00:09:10,082 --> 00:09:13,419
The Syrian conflict has become
an enormous humanitarian crisis.

109
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:16,355
After so many years of fighting,

110
00:09:16,722 --> 00:09:19,759
thousands of refugees
have come to this area.

111
00:09:20,826 --> 00:09:25,731
Their temporary tents
have become permanent
concrete cities. But still,

112
00:09:26,098 --> 00:09:31,103
there's only one healthcare
facility for the ten-thousand
people who live here

113
00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:35,675
in Domiz Camp II. They
leave behind their lives,

114
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:40,680
their homes and everything
they own just to
find a better future.

115
00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:48,287
But in this journey they
might find all kinds of
challenges and health issues.

116
00:10:03,002 --> 00:10:09,308
Today we are at the Domiz
Camp and we're going
to see Syrian refugees.

117
00:10:09,375 --> 00:10:10,676
I'm happy to be here.

118
00:10:12,144 --> 00:10:15,147
To manage these camps is
a massive undertaking.

119
00:10:15,181 --> 00:10:19,952
There are international
organizations that work in
these camps to supply basic

120
00:10:19,986 --> 00:10:23,856
needs to the people who are
arriving and living here.

121
00:10:27,226 --> 00:10:30,563
We're just going to see patients
and hopefully help them.

122
00:10:31,530 --> 00:10:34,233
There's still refugees
coming in so we still see

123
00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:36,168
some patients with
acute trauma,

124
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:41,173
but most of the time we're
seeing chronic disease
and acute illnesses like

125
00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:43,676
bronchitis and sore throats
and things like that.

126
00:10:43,709 --> 00:10:47,580
The majority of the
patients want to be seen for
their diabetes and their

127
00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:50,016
hypertension and their back
pain and their knee pain,

128
00:10:50,049 --> 00:10:51,684
so a lot of chronic illness.

129
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:57,023
We tried to help
the best we could.

130
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:04,363
I'm a pre-med engineering
student, and I'm also
being an interpreter.

131
00:11:05,097 --> 00:11:09,068
We are here today at Domiz
Camp to help out kids and
families that are in need.

132
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:12,438
We're doing everything we
can from the big things
to the small things and

133
00:11:12,471 --> 00:11:14,273
whatever we can provide.

134
00:11:15,307 --> 00:11:19,145
The displaced people living
here have a traumatic
history of persecution.

135
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,747
It is especially difficult
for the children.

136
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:26,185
They are suffering
from conditions like
PTSD, depression,

137
00:11:26,218 --> 00:11:27,353
malnutrition and anxiety.

138
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,424
And the chronic conditions
that would be easy to
treat can't be because they

139
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:34,393
lack the very basic
needs like clean water,

140
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:37,596
electricity and the
proper sanitary system.

141
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:41,100
They need more help here.

142
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:45,571
The amount of need that I have
seen here is very profound.

143
00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:50,910
There are thousands of
people living here. We have
a lot to do still here.

144
00:11:51,977 --> 00:11:55,715
These camps were supposed to be
short term emergency solutions,

145
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:59,051
but they have turned
into longterm cities.

146
00:12:04,623 --> 00:12:08,828
We're lacking sustainable relief to
actually solve this problem.

147
00:12:12,098 --> 00:12:15,501
The interpreters and volunteers
that work here are just amazing.

148
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:19,538
They really want to help the
displaced people living here,

149
00:12:20,172 --> 00:12:22,575
and anything they can do
to help, they will do it.

150
00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:28,180
Each camp has only
one ambulance.

151
00:12:30,382 --> 00:12:33,586
Sometimes in Iraq we see
seizures that are more hysteria,

152
00:12:33,853 --> 00:12:36,155
and I'd never seen it before
until I came the first time.

153
00:12:36,288 --> 00:12:39,959
And she gets these under
stress, and then she
seizes us up, she faints,

154
00:12:40,459 --> 00:12:44,630
seizes up, and then eventually
she'll wake up. She's not
been to a neurologist.

155
00:12:44,663 --> 00:12:45,765
We talked to her family,

156
00:12:45,798 --> 00:12:48,701
and she's not been so
she really does need to
work up for seizures.

157
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:55,541
We met many people today,
and some of their stories
were just heartbreaking.

158
00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:23,602
Once people arrived,
they're moved from a
tent to a small one-room,

159
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:27,640
concrete house with a
toilet and a kitchen area.

160
00:13:49,795 --> 00:13:54,466
The family then will receive
food, water, some supplies,

161
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:55,734
and a blanket.

162
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:09,815
It is very difficult to
afford private health care.

163
00:14:10,282 --> 00:14:14,787
In some cases they need
specialized doctors who
only practice in other

164
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:18,157
countries. The doctors
here do a great job,

165
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:21,360
but they're overwhelmed
and can't provide certain

166
00:14:21,393 --> 00:14:24,096
treatment that some
people may need.

167
00:14:40,479 --> 00:14:44,250
Children and adults with special
needs are especially vulnerable.

168
00:14:45,584 --> 00:14:49,121
There were a couple
of cases that needed
specialized attention.

169
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:34,600
It is very difficult
to deal with.

170
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:39,171
Besides the easily and treatable
illnesses of colds and cough,

171
00:15:39,204 --> 00:15:44,043
these kids have survived
and escaped war. It
is completely unfair,

172
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:46,178
unjust and wrong.

173
00:15:47,212 --> 00:15:51,083
The most recent project
that they're launching in
the camps is "Caring for

174
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:54,820
Widows and Orphans of ISIS." In
one of the Yazidi camps there,

175
00:15:54,853 --> 00:16:00,659
they got over 400 plus widows
and orphans that they're
documenting and providing

176
00:16:00,693 --> 00:16:03,228
both education and mental
health counseling for.

177
00:16:03,262 --> 00:16:07,800
So all of these widows and
orphans have some serious
post traumatic stress,

178
00:16:07,833 --> 00:16:10,102
and they have no counseling
at all up to this point.

179
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:12,738
And Love of at Least is
providing that to all of them.

180
00:16:13,939 --> 00:16:15,274
The first time we
screened, we just,

181
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:18,410
I think they just made an
announcement in the camp
that they were going to be

182
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:21,013
recording who the orphans were,

183
00:16:21,046 --> 00:16:23,882
and just documenting them
because they were kind of
running around all over the

184
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:26,452
place and people knew there
were lots of orphans in camp,

185
00:16:26,485 --> 00:16:29,355
but there was no centralized
list and there was no
way to identify who they

186
00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:31,323
were. And there was
no medical screenings.

187
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:36,695
So we sent a team in a
little trailer and hundreds
and hundreds of people

188
00:16:36,729 --> 00:16:40,632
showed up and we were a
little overwhelmed by how
many people actually came.

189
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:42,368
And they went through
medical screening,

190
00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:45,104
and there was three
times more orphans there
than we were expecting.

191
00:16:46,572 --> 00:16:50,709
We got a call from one of
the camp directors, and he
called Jerry and he said,

192
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,246
we have an orphan crisis
and can you help us?

193
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,949
So for two weeks
during the summer,

194
00:16:56,982 --> 00:17:02,755
we called two nurses and
another volunteer and we
moved into a caravan in like

195
00:17:02,788 --> 00:17:06,492
110 degree weather and no

196
00:17:07,059 --> 00:17:12,431
power. Right. And we
began to document the
orphans. We took pictures,

197
00:17:12,464 --> 00:17:16,268
we took names, we took
their medical history.
And at the end of the day,

198
00:17:16,301 --> 00:17:19,571
after two weeks and some change,

199
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:26,145
we got a count of 326
orphans in just one camp.

200
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:30,749
And mind you, there are 28
camps? 28 camps. So just,

201
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:34,086
all from ISIS. Yeah.

202
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:39,091
And then we also
documented 300 widows and

203
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:47,766
they're all young.
They're young widows,

204
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:52,704
and they all have
children. And so that's

205
00:17:53,672 --> 00:17:59,111
why we're called Love for the
Least. We bring aid to orphans,

206
00:17:59,645 --> 00:18:03,782
widows and now refugees.

207
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:12,191
After spending a few
days in a Syrian camp,

208
00:18:12,624 --> 00:18:16,361
it was time to pack up
some more supplies and
go to the Yazidi camp.

209
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:22,367
The Yazidis came to live
in the camps after 2014
because they were attacked,

210
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:26,071
and many of them were killed by
ISIS because of their beliefs.

211
00:18:26,271 --> 00:18:31,343
They're not Muslim or
Christians. They have
their own ancient religion.

212
00:18:32,177 --> 00:18:35,848
They have continuously
been discriminated against
because of their religion.

213
00:18:36,682 --> 00:18:39,852
This was the 74th
genocide against them.

214
00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:44,356
The big difference is when
we go to the Yazidi camps

215
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:46,859
is the Yazidi camps
are still in tents.

216
00:18:46,892 --> 00:18:51,396
But one of my favorite thoughts
is the kids don't care.

217
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:54,233
The kids are playing in
the streets, they're happy,

218
00:18:54,266 --> 00:18:58,470
they have no material things,
and yet they're really,
really fun to be around.

219
00:18:58,670 --> 00:19:00,672
They're all eager
to speak English,

220
00:19:00,706 --> 00:19:02,975
and they're getting better at it
because they're teaching it now.

221
00:19:03,008 --> 00:19:07,412
And anything that we
can provide them, a piece
of candy, they love us.

222
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:20,993
Once we got to the camps,
it was time to set up and
start seeing patients.

223
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:24,563
So we are in camp Shariya.

224
00:19:24,596 --> 00:19:29,735
It is one of the 28
refugee camps or IDP camps,

225
00:19:29,768 --> 00:19:34,273
internally displaced people.
It is a camp for Yazidi people.

226
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:38,177
It's a distinct people group,
about 7 - 8,000 years old.

227
00:19:38,544 --> 00:19:42,314
And they have, they're
their own people group.
They have their own culture,

228
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:45,684
language, religion. Very
neat, wonderful people.

229
00:19:45,717 --> 00:19:48,387
She's asking if she needs
the medicine for...

230
00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:50,556
No, no medicine for this, no.

231
00:19:50,722 --> 00:19:55,494
So the people are here
because they escaped
from ISIS off Sinjar.

232
00:19:56,261 --> 00:20:00,199
They went into Syria,
and then from Syria,

233
00:20:00,232 --> 00:20:05,070
they came back in here.
Around August 2014,

234
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:07,806
they were on the streets.
And when we were here,

235
00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:11,743
there were literally
thousands and thousands
of people on the streets,

236
00:20:11,777 --> 00:20:18,116
and they were living
under maybe those blue
thin tarps tied to trees.

237
00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:21,887
They were also in any space
in an abandoned building,

238
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,059
and they were littered
on the roads. Thousands.
And then the UN came in,

239
00:20:27,092 --> 00:20:29,828
and the next time we came in,
which was three months later,

240
00:20:29,861 --> 00:20:31,997
most of the people
were in camps.

241
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:35,133
So these people are in camps
because they cannot go home.

242
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:39,371
Their homes are now rubble.
They've been destroyed
by the war with ISIS,

243
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:44,009
bombed out rubble, can't go
back. And I'm not sure who...

244
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:51,216
Hello baby. I'm not sure who
has control of Sinjar right now,

245
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:55,988
but last week it was some
of the Iranian militia.

246
00:20:56,021 --> 00:21:03,028
It is very important,
the blood pressure is
very high, let her know.

247
00:21:03,528 --> 00:21:07,132
I actually got to spend
an afternoon with my Yazidi
doctor who's been with me on

248
00:21:07,165 --> 00:21:10,102
every trip. He's now working
in a government hospital,

249
00:21:10,135 --> 00:21:13,138
and he came over for the
afternoon to spend it with us.

250
00:22:30,515 --> 00:22:38,557
So we have 400 orphans or
so here in the camps with
the Yazidi that we're caring

251
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:41,927
for, providing trauma care
for, teaching English,

252
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:46,798
doing as much education and
care with them as we can.

253
00:22:46,832 --> 00:22:51,536
Also providing medicine,
doctors, medical care, food,

254
00:22:52,738 --> 00:22:54,272
you know, with the
basics of life,

255
00:22:54,306 --> 00:22:58,543
we're trying to get them beyond
from relief into recovery.

256
00:22:58,577 --> 00:23:01,246
Trying to find at least
the new normal for them.
They're very bright kids.

257
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:08,320
They're very, very capable.
They're hardworking
and they're smart.

258
00:23:08,954 --> 00:23:12,557
You know, they want to
provide, they want to work,
they want to go to school.

259
00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:16,595
So the barrier there is
really just the funds to put

260
00:23:16,595 --> 00:23:21,233
them in the local
private universities.

261
00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:28,073
I was so happy I brought the
soccer cards for the kids here.

262
00:23:28,306 --> 00:23:31,243
It was unbelievable how
happy they were to get a

263
00:23:31,276 --> 00:23:34,146
simple gift from
the United States.

264
00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:39,684
All these sponsorships
for orphans go into a pool
because we don't ever exclude

265
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:43,455
any orphans. So right
now the majority of it is
going to education and,

266
00:23:43,488 --> 00:23:45,190
primarily, mental
health counseling.

267
00:23:45,223 --> 00:23:50,362
So because all of the Yazidi
orphans have had trauma,
every single one of them,

268
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:53,932
and they've had no trauma
care whatsoever up to
this point,

269
00:23:53,965 --> 00:23:58,036
is that that's where the
majority of the funding
goes to have qualified

270
00:23:58,069 --> 00:24:00,705
professional mental health
counselors dealing with them.

271
00:24:02,207 --> 00:24:04,776
We spent a day seeing as
many patients as we could,

272
00:24:05,310 --> 00:24:07,446
evaluating what their
needs were.

273
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,583
It's much more organized
than it used to be. We
used to be out on the,

274
00:24:11,616 --> 00:24:15,287
just on the ground out
there in the sun, hot,

275
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,357
and all we had were
tents. Now they have a
school, a soccer field,

276
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:23,662
this clinic area that we
can be in. And so it's
much more organized.

277
00:24:23,695 --> 00:24:26,598
The teams have gotten better
as they've come. So we have,

278
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:31,903
the pharmacy is really nice
to have pharmacists there
and people that know all

279
00:24:31,937 --> 00:24:34,539
the different medications.
The screening team was great,

280
00:24:34,573 --> 00:24:37,576
and if you don't have a great
screening team, it's a long day.

281
00:24:37,609 --> 00:24:44,082
We're going to call her and see
if we can work something
out with the speech therapist.

282
00:24:44,115 --> 00:24:49,855
Many of the children we saw would
benefit from early intervention
like physical therapy,

283
00:24:49,888 --> 00:24:55,160
occupational therapy, and
speech therapy. We saw
about 30 patients today.

284
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:58,763
All kinds of cases from
hypertension, diabetes.

285
00:24:58,797 --> 00:25:02,367
Actually that's one of
the biggest problems here,
right? Osteoarthritis.

286
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,704
We have tons of people
with osteoarthritis. People
with, you know, overweight.

287
00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:09,541
But in general, if they
would take their medication,
do their exercise,

288
00:25:09,741 --> 00:25:12,377
they would have better
health. And that's just
like the United States.

289
00:25:12,410 --> 00:25:13,778
We can hand them all
the meds we want.

290
00:25:13,945 --> 00:25:16,615
If they don't do what's right
their health is impaired.

291
00:25:18,116 --> 00:25:19,918
They're just wonderful people,

292
00:25:20,118 --> 00:25:22,921
and they're very grateful
when they come in to see you.

293
00:25:22,954 --> 00:25:26,424
Most of them have a
chronic illness. When
you came, you know,

294
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:30,829
four or five years ago, it
was all acute trauma, PTSD.

295
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:34,733
They had been fleeing from
ISIS. Everybody was crying,

296
00:25:34,766 --> 00:25:37,836
everybody was displaced.
They were trying to
find their families.

297
00:25:37,869 --> 00:25:42,040
Now they've kind of
settled in. We got to
visit a tent yesterday,

298
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,809
and visit with a family.
It's nice to come and help,

299
00:25:44,976 --> 00:25:46,811
and hopefully we'll make
a little bit of an impact.

300
00:25:46,845 --> 00:25:49,881
They'll know the outside
world helps and cares.

301
00:25:54,419 --> 00:25:57,422
Today we're going to
go to the Yazidi camps,

302
00:25:57,455 --> 00:25:59,925
and see the situation of
the people living here.

303
00:26:00,258 --> 00:26:06,131
I've been a couple of
these days working as a
doctor inside the building,

304
00:26:06,131 --> 00:26:10,468
and I don't really know what
the situation is so we're
going to walk through and

305
00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:12,003
see what happens. Hello?

306
00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:20,312
I was talking with some
of these kids last time
and they were super nice.

307
00:26:20,345 --> 00:26:22,814
We gave them some cards
and they enjoy it.

308
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:28,153
They love soccer over
here. They're huge fans of
Barcelona and Real Madrid.

309
00:26:28,186 --> 00:26:31,823
They really love it. Hello?

310
00:26:36,061 --> 00:26:37,495
They live in a small area.

311
00:26:37,529 --> 00:26:42,834
Sometimes family of 10 members
in a couple of square feet.

312
00:26:42,867 --> 00:26:46,838
Hey, how are you? Hi.
Hi. What's your name?

313
00:26:53,378 --> 00:26:56,081
They might be looking for cards
because the last time I
was here I gave them some

314
00:26:56,281 --> 00:27:01,052
soccer cards, but I
don't know. How are you?

315
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:08,460
You see, they are
very nice kids.

316
00:27:08,493 --> 00:27:10,962
They have nothing. They
have nothing, believe
me. But they are happy,

317
00:27:10,996 --> 00:27:15,100
happy kids just going around
and playing with each other,

318
00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:19,838
and you know, it's
amazing. Amazing,

319
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:23,742
amazing. Look at
this. Hello. Hello.

320
00:27:24,542 --> 00:27:28,913
Look at these girls.
Drawing on the floor.

321
00:27:43,094 --> 00:27:47,632
The Solar Light Project was
something that was started
in East Africa where we

322
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:51,670
are providing solar lights
and water purifiers to

323
00:27:51,703 --> 00:27:53,438
widows and orphans
and families,

324
00:27:53,471 --> 00:27:55,507
and it's something that's
very inexpensive but makes

325
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:57,409
a huge difference
in the camps.

326
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:05,250
The solar light is instrumental
because they only get
six hours of power a day.

327
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:08,620
There is no generator
in this camp.

328
00:28:09,054 --> 00:28:12,957
That has to be on a government
level because this camp is big,

329
00:28:12,991 --> 00:28:14,926
it's got four sections.
We need, you know,

330
00:28:15,427 --> 00:28:21,332
it'd be like maybe even
500,000 per section or a
million to generate this entire

331
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:26,104
camp. For example, other camps
have generators, big ones,

332
00:28:26,237 --> 00:28:30,642
and every home is connected to
the generator in the sections.

333
00:28:30,809 --> 00:28:34,946
Not here. So six hours of power.
When those six hours are gone,

334
00:28:34,979 --> 00:28:38,650
they sweat in the summer, and
they freeze in the winter.

335
00:28:43,455 --> 00:28:48,526
All right, so let's go
through the camps a little
bit. As you see, well,

336
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,363
they have some kind
of system here. The
waters, residual waters,

337
00:28:52,597 --> 00:28:54,733
but to live in
camps like this...

338
00:29:00,105 --> 00:29:02,507
The other thing we're doing
is that water filtration kit,

339
00:29:02,540 --> 00:29:05,944
they are not drinking
clean water. We want
to clean the water,

340
00:29:05,977 --> 00:29:12,083
and that will help with
UTI's and kidney infections
and help in that way to just

341
00:29:12,117 --> 00:29:13,351
fix it overnight.

342
00:29:24,062 --> 00:29:27,232
Some of these kids get
very, very sick because of
the condition of the water.

343
00:29:28,166 --> 00:29:31,503
They get, some of them they
get diarrhea, you know,

344
00:29:31,536 --> 00:29:34,305
they get vomiting.

345
00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:38,777
And then, the saddest part
is they don't

346
00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:41,846
have immediate healthcare.

347
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:50,889
This is something that
needs to be fixed.

348
00:29:51,523 --> 00:29:55,560
It needs to be fixed
quickly. As you see here,

349
00:29:56,928 --> 00:29:59,597
many people share these
community bathrooms.

350
00:30:00,365 --> 00:30:05,336
Hundreds of people sharing
the same toilet because
they don't have toilets

351
00:30:05,370 --> 00:30:06,538
inside their tents.

352
00:30:08,206 --> 00:30:12,710
See, all the floors are dirty.
The water's leaking.

353
00:30:12,744 --> 00:30:16,781
And as I mentioned before,
the conditions of the water
are not the proper ones,

354
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,016
are not hygenic.

355
00:30:19,784 --> 00:30:22,887
And a lot of people get
sick because of the water.

356
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:27,926
So we are going to walk
through the tents.

357
00:30:27,959 --> 00:30:29,928
As you see, they're
very, very small.

358
00:30:30,562 --> 00:30:33,164
Hey, Naseed.

359
00:30:34,332 --> 00:30:38,236
This is my friend, Naseed.
He actually invited me over
a couple of days ago,

360
00:30:38,269 --> 00:30:40,972
and he was super kind. He
invited me in his house,

361
00:30:41,005 --> 00:30:45,510
and we were having some
drinks, some treats and
they were extremely,

362
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:50,181
extremely kind to us.
Okay. So I have now one
friend here in Kurdistan.

363
00:30:52,283 --> 00:30:55,753
Seeing these kids out
here playing soccer,

364
00:30:56,054 --> 00:30:58,456
it's hard to believe they
had escaped from ISIS.

365
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:02,393
ISIS is still of danger
to people living here.

366
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,799
Many of their family members
were captured, killed,
or they're still missing,

367
00:31:07,832 --> 00:31:11,870
even today. You want your
loved ones to be safe.

368
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:15,740
Living on with these
memories is not easy.

369
00:31:32,056 --> 00:31:37,462
These kids are not able to
go back to the towns that
they are from because those

370
00:31:37,495 --> 00:31:39,831
villages were destroyed
and they aren't safe.

371
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:24,542
After meeting the people here
and hearing their stories,

372
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:28,813
I really began to understand how
complicated the issues here are.

373
00:32:30,014 --> 00:32:31,649
So, you see many conditions,

374
00:32:31,816 --> 00:32:36,587
most of them infections
that they pass from one
person to another person.

375
00:32:36,821 --> 00:32:41,793
A lot of respiratory tract
infections, eye infections.

376
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:46,030
Regular checkups will help
to prevent these infections.

377
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,836
Even though they
have almost nothing,

378
00:32:52,236 --> 00:32:56,174
I have been welcomed here
with an amazing hospitality.

379
00:32:57,008 --> 00:33:00,511
As you see, there are
hundreds of tents over
here. Hundreds of tents.

380
00:33:01,179 --> 00:33:04,649
You can see like old
people hang out together,

381
00:33:05,583 --> 00:33:09,554
and sometimes they
don't have any job, so
they want to do this.

382
00:33:09,587 --> 00:33:14,425
They hang out together
and speak and I guess they
share their stories. So,

383
00:33:14,459 --> 00:33:16,494
I'm going to go ahead
and say hello to them.

384
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:22,100
Medically speaking, there
are many layers that need
to be addressed here.

385
00:33:23,067 --> 00:33:28,172
One layer is basic food
and water along with simple
medicine and health care.

386
00:33:29,107 --> 00:33:34,278
Then there are much deeper
issues related to the
persecution that these people

387
00:33:34,312 --> 00:33:36,114
have suffered for many years.

388
00:33:36,914 --> 00:33:41,686
Some have a hard time
finding a reason to
live, finding a purpose,

389
00:33:41,719 --> 00:33:44,555
or believing in a safe
or happy future.

390
00:33:49,594 --> 00:33:51,396
You see, very nice
people, very kind people.

391
00:33:55,333 --> 00:33:58,403
Meeting people in the
Yazidi community has
been an honor for me.

392
00:34:00,638 --> 00:34:03,274
I really enjoyed
getting to know them.

393
00:34:13,785 --> 00:34:17,722
Days here have turned into
many difficult years for

394
00:34:17,755 --> 00:34:21,626
those hoping to move
on from these tents.

395
00:34:34,138 --> 00:34:40,611
Pretty much everybody in the
Yazidi camp was in Sinjar
and escaped from ISIS and

396
00:34:40,645 --> 00:34:42,780
saw what ISIS had done.

397
00:34:42,814 --> 00:34:46,818
They experienced
violence of ISIS and got
away from it. Almost,

398
00:34:46,851 --> 00:34:50,354
the camp director says, 95% were
there and witnessed it all. So,

399
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:54,859
pretty much every single
one of them experienced some
pretty traumatic violence

400
00:34:54,892 --> 00:34:58,296
or very traumatic
violence. And again,

401
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:03,101
the camp mentality is let's
just keep them safe and
alive and give them bare

402
00:35:03,134 --> 00:35:04,702
necessities, but that's it.

403
00:35:04,735 --> 00:35:07,805
And mental health counseling
is not very high on the list

404
00:35:07,839 --> 00:35:09,974
for a UN camp.

405
00:35:10,007 --> 00:35:14,779
But it's extremely needed
there because all these kids,

406
00:35:14,812 --> 00:35:16,547
you know,

407
00:35:16,581 --> 00:35:21,018
have severe PTSD that's
untreated and a lot of the
times PTSD doesn't flare up

408
00:35:21,052 --> 00:35:24,856
for two or three or
four years. That's about
where we are right now.

409
00:35:24,889 --> 00:35:26,958
They've been there between
three and five years,

410
00:35:26,991 --> 00:35:29,961
so it's kind of a
really critical time for
them to get some help.

411
00:35:30,528 --> 00:35:34,699
The camps have been up four
years, right now. Their
tents are falling apart.

412
00:35:34,732 --> 00:35:37,568
They get six hours
of electricity a day.

413
00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:41,672
Conditions are really
eroding in some ways,

414
00:35:41,706 --> 00:35:44,509
but there's no blue
sky for them. I mean,

415
00:35:44,542 --> 00:35:48,112
that's where we're
seeing suicides, you
know, in camp right now,

416
00:35:50,047 --> 00:35:54,552
unfortunately, at sort
of a steady pace, and
it's just them giving up.

417
00:35:54,585 --> 00:35:58,022
They, can't leave, they
can't go home. They're stuck,

418
00:35:58,055 --> 00:36:02,560
and no one's offering any path
forward for them. So, you know,

419
00:36:02,593 --> 00:36:06,731
we're trying to
find the new normal,

420
00:36:07,198 --> 00:36:10,601
you know, again, trying to
have some kind of, you know,

421
00:36:10,635 --> 00:36:13,371
daily life hoping for hope.

422
00:36:14,438 --> 00:36:18,543
We have some trauma counselors
provided by Father Aram
who's a Catholic priest,

423
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:22,613
who's a Harvard educated
trauma care counselor or
mental health counselor,

424
00:36:22,647 --> 00:36:24,215
and he's one of the
only ones in the region.

425
00:36:24,248 --> 00:36:26,150
And he comes up to the
camp with this team,

426
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:28,853
and they're providing
professional care to
the orphans right now.

427
00:37:47,331 --> 00:37:51,469
So, we have those 326
orphans documented,

428
00:37:51,502 --> 00:37:55,606
and we have behind us the
life center. And, basically,

429
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,609
what we do is three
months at a time,

430
00:37:58,643 --> 00:38:02,980
we'll run a three month
trauma care program.

431
00:38:03,014 --> 00:38:07,618
And in that program,
we will do art therapy,

432
00:38:07,652 --> 00:38:10,655
music therapy, dance therapy,

433
00:38:10,688 --> 00:38:14,525
and then we'll bring in
trained professionals
to do group therapy.

434
00:38:14,558 --> 00:38:17,928
We take the most traumatized
first to the least.

435
00:38:17,962 --> 00:38:23,567
So those that have
actually either been with
ISIS or saw ISIS or saw

436
00:38:23,601 --> 00:38:26,137
their parents...

437
00:38:29,740 --> 00:38:34,845
These kids have seen and
experienced the most horrific
trauma you can imagine.

438
00:38:35,546 --> 00:38:39,517
Some of them saw the
whites of ISIS as they
were fleeing from Sinjar.

439
00:38:40,217 --> 00:38:43,621
Some of them were
taken by ISIS.

440
00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:48,125
Some of them escaped from
ISIS, some of them were
rescued. Those, of course,

441
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:50,261
are going to be the ones
that are the worse off.

442
00:38:51,162 --> 00:38:54,765
I'll leave it to
your imagination.

443
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,477
We met a young girl in
the camp today who has
recently escaped from ISIS.

444
00:39:07,244 --> 00:39:11,949
She had been held by
them, and a few weeks ago,
she was able to escape.

445
00:41:54,345 --> 00:41:59,049
Sadly, her story's
similar to many of the
children's in this camp.

446
00:42:02,353 --> 00:42:05,656
Oh, look at this. He speaks
English. My name is Joseph.

447
00:42:15,933 --> 00:42:17,134
What is your name?

448
00:42:25,576 --> 00:42:26,911
So I'm talking to him,

449
00:42:26,944 --> 00:42:31,415
and he's actually talking
to me in English the most
he can and he has a good

450
00:42:31,448 --> 00:42:33,784
pronunciation so I
might, I don't know,

451
00:42:33,817 --> 00:42:36,420
in the future give him
a book or something.

452
00:42:36,453 --> 00:42:39,924
Because he's very interested in
learning another language.
Okay. He said, thank you.

453
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:45,596
These kids are amazing.
They are great,

454
00:42:46,063 --> 00:42:49,900
but when you hear stories of
their life, it is very tragic.

455
00:43:15,225 --> 00:43:17,094
We might not be able
to change the past,

456
00:43:17,628 --> 00:43:21,865
but we can work together
to make a better future
for these children.

457
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,671
So we have the orphan
program and we have the
English learning center,

458
00:43:27,972 --> 00:43:31,442
and we need people. The
type of people that we need,

459
00:43:31,475 --> 00:43:35,946
we need people who are
willing to do conversational
English with them.

460
00:43:35,980 --> 00:43:40,117
They don't necessarily
have to be ESL certified,
but if they are,

461
00:43:40,150 --> 00:43:41,619
that would be awesome.

462
00:43:43,220 --> 00:43:49,493
(Counting...)

463
00:43:56,667 --> 00:43:58,302
For you, but you play
with everybody.

464
00:43:59,036 --> 00:44:02,973
I think the biggest thing
that I noticed when I
first went to Kurdistan,

465
00:44:03,007 --> 00:44:06,577
first was the refugee
camps, which really
struck me that, you know,

466
00:44:06,610 --> 00:44:09,613
any one of these people
could literally be your
next door neighbor.

467
00:44:09,647 --> 00:44:12,950
So you get people who are
literally just picked up
out of their house with

468
00:44:12,983 --> 00:44:15,085
whatever clothes and
belongings they had,

469
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:20,391
moved to a new location and
they're educated, there's
doctors, there's lawyers,

470
00:44:20,424 --> 00:44:23,827
there's engineers,
there's nurses, there's
dentists, there's students,

471
00:44:23,861 --> 00:44:24,762
there's children.

472
00:44:24,795 --> 00:44:29,066
And it's as if you just
picked up a large US city
and just told everybody "you

473
00:44:29,099 --> 00:44:30,601
have 24 hours to be
out of your house,

474
00:44:30,634 --> 00:44:35,005
take what you can and leave."
And they've been in camps
for at least five years now

475
00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:36,373
with no end in sight.

476
00:44:36,940 --> 00:44:40,077
And are trying to lead
some sort of normal life,

477
00:44:40,110 --> 00:44:42,046
and it's shockingly
difficult because, you know,

478
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:45,082
the average stay in a UN
camp is about 17 or 18 years.

479
00:44:45,516 --> 00:44:47,951
And so you get children who
spend their entire childhood

480
00:44:47,985 --> 00:44:50,454
growing up in a
tent in a camp.

481
00:44:50,487 --> 00:44:55,726
And it really shocked me
that there wasn't a better
method to move people on and

482
00:44:55,759 --> 00:45:00,531
reintegrate them
somewhere rather than just
warehousing them in a camp.

483
00:45:07,037 --> 00:45:10,641
I promised to one of
the children, I'm going
to give them a ball,

484
00:45:10,674 --> 00:45:14,978
but also have some cards. These
balls actually are meant to

485
00:45:17,915 --> 00:45:19,083
found one of the

486
00:45:21,418 --> 00:45:24,855
first soccer junior
leagues in the camp.

487
00:45:26,757 --> 00:45:31,128
But I decided to give one
of the kids one soccer ball.

488
00:45:31,495 --> 00:45:32,663
He was extremely nice,

489
00:45:32,696 --> 00:45:35,599
but I think they're
going to be very happy
with this soccer ball.

490
00:45:38,869 --> 00:45:40,838
Okay. All right. Let's go

491
00:45:45,809 --> 00:45:49,480
A few months back, we did
the Yazidi world cup in camp,

492
00:45:49,513 --> 00:45:54,151
so we had 16 teams of
the guys and had this
great big tournament.

493
00:45:54,184 --> 00:45:57,020
And then had the world
cup championship with,

494
00:45:57,054 --> 00:46:00,491
we had paid refs and
an award ceremony.

495
00:46:00,524 --> 00:46:04,161
They got metals and they had
cheering sections, you know,

496
00:46:04,194 --> 00:46:08,732
and what it was was
just a great relief from
the current situation.

497
00:46:08,766 --> 00:46:12,770
Just something else to
think about, you know?
Something to enjoy, have fun,

498
00:46:12,803 --> 00:46:16,740
get excited about and just break
the monotony of camp. And then,

499
00:46:16,774 --> 00:46:19,743
we did it for the girls
about three weeks later then,

500
00:46:19,777 --> 00:46:24,615
so we had the girls Yazidi
world cup. So, yeah.

501
00:46:24,648 --> 00:46:28,952
Activities like that just, I
mean, it's good for, you know,

502
00:46:28,986 --> 00:46:30,487
it's good physically for
them to get out of the

503
00:46:30,521 --> 00:46:34,191
camp or the tents
and play sports.

504
00:46:34,224 --> 00:46:36,794
But it also kind of clears
their heads a little bit
and gives them something

505
00:46:36,827 --> 00:46:38,796
else to think about,
you know, enjoy it.

506
00:46:39,363 --> 00:46:44,168
Barcelona or Real Madrid?
I'm Barcelona. Oh my goodness.

507
00:46:44,201 --> 00:46:46,837
There are a lot of people
for Barcelona here.

508
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:50,641
You, Real?
Real Mardid, yeah.

509
00:46:53,877 --> 00:46:57,214
We've had a great week.
It's been a very different
week than my other trips.

510
00:46:57,247 --> 00:47:01,118
When I first came, it was
more crisis mode. First
couple of trips I came,

511
00:47:01,385 --> 00:47:04,354
people were scattered in
villages. They were in tents.

512
00:47:04,588 --> 00:47:07,925
There was no really running
water. We had well water.

513
00:47:08,725 --> 00:47:11,528
Supplies weren't getting in.
We were bringing supplies.

514
00:47:11,728 --> 00:47:15,699
And now this many years
later is really settled
communities that we're visiting.

515
00:47:16,166 --> 00:47:19,603
Imagine your kids living
in these conditions.

516
00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:23,841
We have everything. We have
healthcare, we have schools,

517
00:47:24,107 --> 00:47:27,411
we have access to
food very quickly.

518
00:47:27,911 --> 00:47:32,316
These kids sometimes have no
access to healthcare for months,

519
00:47:32,749 --> 00:47:34,685
and they live under
these conditions.

520
00:47:35,619 --> 00:47:39,122
I will continue to speak
on behalf of the kind
people living here.

521
00:47:39,156 --> 00:47:42,893
They also deserve to
live a peaceful life.

522
00:47:45,028 --> 00:47:49,032
♪ Ey Raqib ♪

523
00:47:52,436 --> 00:47:56,540
It is important to bring
awareness to the displaced
people living in this

524
00:47:56,573 --> 00:47:59,843
region, whether Syrian,
Kurdish, or Yazidi,

525
00:48:00,210 --> 00:48:02,145
they need our support.

526
00:48:02,980 --> 00:48:09,186
We need people here. We need
people that help. We need
doctors, nurses, psychologists,

527
00:48:09,219 --> 00:48:15,058
all those people to come and
be kind with this culture.

528
00:48:15,826 --> 00:48:17,327
They really, really need it.

529
00:48:38,048 --> 00:48:40,918
Look at how happy they are, how
happy they are. Oh my goodness.

530
00:48:40,951 --> 00:48:45,088
This is just great.
This is just great.

531
00:48:47,257 --> 00:48:52,229
As we were walking through
the camps, we saw a couple
of cases, and one of them,

532
00:48:52,496 --> 00:48:55,799
it was an eye infection,
nothing major,

533
00:48:55,999 --> 00:48:58,635
but the biggest thing is
the happiness of these kids.

534
00:48:58,669 --> 00:49:00,237
I had a small present for them,

535
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:03,840
but eventually we're going to
give them more soccer balls,

536
00:49:03,874 --> 00:49:06,944
and then we're planning to do
a soccer league here for them.

537
00:49:06,977 --> 00:49:08,979
So they're going to
be extremely happy.

538
00:49:09,346 --> 00:49:13,383
So, I would say it's a
really good trip. I will
be back, I don't know when,

539
00:49:13,417 --> 00:49:15,686
probably this year
or early next year,

540
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,423
and I encourage anyone to come
and just see how the people are.

541
00:49:19,456 --> 00:49:21,325
And don't forget them.

542
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:24,895
Come over here.
Come over here.

543
00:49:26,930 --> 00:49:28,131
Bye!
