Generation Iraq ----- Generation Iraq is one of the few Western charities still operating in Iraq. It was founded in 2006 by a remarkable woman named Tamara Quinn. Tamara is an Iraqi-American who almost immediately after the fall of Baghdad got on a plane and traveled to Iraq for the first time in 30 years to see if she could help Iraqis recover from the war and decades of oppression under Saddam Hussein. While there, Tamara co-founded a women’s rights organization, worked with the Coalition Provisional Authority, and over time, developed a special interest in assisting Iraqi children.

At TeenSmarts® we believe that children benefit strongly from knowing and following the rules of proper behavior. Our society today reflects decades of eroding human values. But, rather than simply sit around and commiserate with others about this decline in values and behaviors. TeenSmarts has taken action by developing a program that seeks to make a difference in the lives of the children and families it touches.
The TeenSmarts program is based on the following four guiding principles:
Good Manners begins with consideration of others.

When I was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in January of 2000, my parents and I felt as if there was nowhere to turn. As my disease rapidly progressed, my family was afraid and alone. No specialist in Pueblo, Colorado would deal with a patient so young, so we had to resort to making long trips back and forth to the Denver Children's Hospital for treatment. Even the doctors there were baffled by the virulence of my disease. My case was unprecedented.
