| Collateral Repair Project Our Partner, Iraq Hope Network - Japan |
home
The Iraq Hope Network is 'a Japan-based network of NGOs,
aid workers, journalists, lawyers, university professors and
volunteers who together sponsor projects in Iraq focused on
humanitarian aid, reconstruction and human rights'
CRP is pleased to partner with Iraq Hope Network in our work
in Amman with Iraqi refugees. Iraq Hope Network contributed a
generous sum to assist with Micro-Projects and Emergency Assistance
for Iraqi refugees in Amman.
Nahoko Takato (see below) of Iraq Hope Network visited Amman this past
Autumn and visited families with members of the Amman Team and US Team
member, Sasha Crow. This was Nahoko's second visit with the CRP Amman
Team. She spent time with the Amman Team last Spring, visiting many families and
offering Iraq Hope Network funds to assist with medical needs of some Iraqi
refugees in critical need.
Nahoko easily won the hearts of Iraqis she met because of her warmth, empathy,
and her work in Iraq. She connected especially well with the children.
We look forward to seeing her again and to continuing our partnership with Iraq
Hope Network.
Nahoko Takato - Who she is, in her own words:
Since 2000, I have started to work in the orphanage in India and stayed there for 1 year.
After that, worked in HIV (AIDS) hospice in Thailand and Cambodia. In 2003, I came
to Iraq for the emergency relief and stayed about 6 months...
In 2004, when I came back to Iraq for the forth time, I was kidnapped by local resistance for
9 days along with other 2 Japanese. You might know my face on TV, as the first woman
who was captured as a hostage.
Since then, I have been concentrated in the reconstruction works in Anbar province,
mainly in Fallujah where I was more familiar with and the place i was kidnapped, and Ramadi...
that project is for the main purpose of rebuilding (healing) the people who was depressed
and try to revenge on U.S. with weapons through the reconstruction works. I mean, we are
trying to prevent them from picking weapons up. We have already rehabilitated 4 schools
and opened 1 new clinic in that areas.
