On the eve of the March 2003 attack on Iraq, members of the international online group the WorldDreamsPeaceBridge dreamed together for world peace.  Many members of the group dreamed about the children of Iraq.  Out of these dreams grew the Aid for Traumatized Children Project, an action directed toward providing support and relief for the many thousands of children displaced, injured, traumatized, and suffering as a result of this war. 

     The Aid for Traumatized Children Project has brought together people from many countries, including Iraq, to discuss what can be done for the children.  It has provided aid for SeasonsArtSchool in Baghdad, for the Post Traumatic Stress Program of Dr. Ali Rashed in the Middle East, and for refugee children in Jordan.  The program continues to gain support as people reach out to help.

David L. Kahn, author of this book, says, "I found my way to the World Dreams Peace Bridge through a series of synchronistic events.  Immediately I felt a sense of belonging with the other members, and I was drawn to the Aid for Traumatized Children Project.  I feel strongly that we all have a responsibility to the children of the world, regardless of what country they live in, or what the politics or religion of that country are.  For this reason, I have chosen to donate the royalties of this book to the AFTC.  I invite you to join me in contributing to this important cause."

     The Aid for Traumatized Children Project exists under the umbrella of the iMAGE Projects, a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit organization.  Donations to the AFTC Project can be made online at worlddreamspeacebridge.org or to the iMAGE Project at 408 Elmhurst Lane, Portsmouth, VA  23701.  Please indicate "AFTC Project" in the memo area.
