Atra Project Presentation
By
Dr. Ashour Moradkhan
Founder & Project Director in our Homeland
Dr. Moradkhan will discuss the goals of the Atra Project and its
accomplishments in supporting the Assyrian villages in our Homeland since
the project began a year and half ago.During the first phase of the
project, 52 Assyrian villages were surveyed to determine the needs of the
families in each village.The second phase of the project is nearing
completion now as close to 85,000 fruit trees have been distributed to those
villages and orchards have been planted.Now we are entering the third
phase that has the long-term aim of creating the facilities and
infrastructure required for storage, processing, and sale of the produce of
the orchards which will become available in the next two to three years.
For the Year 2002 the focus of the Atra Project is the Protein Program.As
the families in Garbia are living of food rations donated by the United
Nations agencies, they lack fresh meat and fresh dairy products in their
diets.Babies and children suffer the most because they are raised on dry
milk.Since raising chickens is the most affordable undertaking, the Atra
Project plans to supply each family with a few chickens and feed according
to the size of the family.
Please plan to attend this important presentation to learn more about
opportunities for investment in our homeland.
