Marines sign contract aiding underprivileged Iraqi scholars

CAMP HABBANIYAH, Iraq(July 9, 2004)—Making small steps to repair Iraq’s ailing educational system, Marines here signed a contract with a local Iraqi government official July 1, 2004, to give Iraqi school children some of the learning tools they need.

The agreement is part of an ongoing effort by Marines intended to improve the quality of life in Al Kabani, a small fishing village in western Iraq..

The children in the town have been using the same makeshift desks for years. Furniture like blackboards and bookshelves, which the village’s teachers said would improve the learning environment for the students, are hard to come by.
