I am a Manchester resident passionate about helping the needy. Have been to Iraq, seen the conditions people live in. I believe help and intervention for the refugees should be at the point of origin as it is far more meaningful & effective. The small we do all adds up to change lives.

I am taking a convoy to visit orphanages in Iraq. There are over 3/4 million orphans in Iraq. This number is increasing rapidly due the onslaught by Daesh who have killed and massacred  thousands of young peaceful Iraqis.

It requires £4 a day to sustain an orphan for their education and basic living expenses. I believe aid at the point of origin and an education for those children who have nothing left, are the most powerful ways of intervening in this humanitarian crisis.

I care about this cause as these are some of the poorest and most destitue of people in the world. Kids have seen a lot of trauma at such a young age. Women and girls are being sold in markets as slaves. This is barbaric. It needs to stop.

I will be visiting Iraq from the 27th of November to 8th of December. I will be personally visiting the refugee camps orphanages and taking aid. I will be distributing gifts to bring happiness to the poor orphans.

I wil be posting regular updates of my trip and pictures of how the aid is given out.
