Spent a very pleasant evening at a new park in #Basra in the company of some of the amazing women taking part in the @AMARLondon New Iraq project which helps empower war widows. They had made lots of handicrafts to sell to visitors #women #womenempowerment Retweeted by AMAR International

Always wonderful to be back in #Basra and today to be greeted at the airport by one of the city's most senior policeman, Brigadier Souod Abdul Aziz, who's always been a great friend to @AMARLondon Retweeted by AMAR International
