"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by
people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at
all."
- Dale Carnegie



In Iraq today, our people are faced with a daily struggle for survival
in view of the hardships that challenge our very existence. At the
very center of this crisis, however, are organizations that continue
to offer hope; one such group is the ChaldoAssyrian Student and Youth
Union of Iraq (referred to as "Khoyada" or Unity).

As one of the most prominent student groups in Iraq, Khoyada has
defined itself as an organization that has proven its ability to unify
our people at all levels. Khoyada's membership includes students from
all denominations across every major Iraqi region where our people
reside, such as Baghdad, Mosul, Basra, Kirkuk, Arbil, Ainkawa,
Shaqlawa, Dohuk, Sarsank, and all cities and villages in the Nineveh
Plains. Khoyada has accomplished projects well beyond their economic
means, and has rallied our youth to participate in many nationalistic
events. Further, Khoyada is focused on helping our youth develop the
appropriate character and leadership qualities needed to succeed in
the new Iraq. For more on Khoyada please visit their website at www.khoyada.
com.

Over a year ago members of the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac Student Union
of Canada, "ACSSU" (www.acssu.ca ) came across publications of
Khoyada, and more specifically, its official newspaper Mezaltaa.
Mezaltaa is published monthly in our native Syriac and Arabic, and
made available both on-line and in-print ( www.khoyada. com/mezaltaa.
htm). In addition to reporting prominent issues that affect our
students and youth in Iraq, Mezaltaa is a forum that encourages and
promotes growth in free thought and opinion. However, due to a lack of
funding, Mezaltaa struggles to grow.

As one of its projects, ACSSU of Canada is attempting to expand
Mezaltaa and its publication capacity. In order to do so, the staff of
Mezaltaa needs additional equipment, such as computers and memory
devices, basic office furniture, and other necessary journalism tools
that include digital cameras, voice-recorders, scanners, and office
stationary. We believe this project deserves critical attention, and
will help empower our youth to more closely share with each other
ideas and thoughts that will promote our language, culture, and
identity.

We urgently need your support. Our project goal is $6,000, and helping
to sponsoring ACSSU in this project are Zinda Magazine and The Assyria
Foundation. All contributions are tax-deductible, and can be made
directly at The Assyria Foundation's website ( www.assyriafoundati
on.org ).

With your help, collectively, we all can make a difference
