Endeavouring to embody a peaceful presence and to show that not all Westerners seek Iraq s destruction, MCC workers have served in Iraq since 1998, in partnership with others to provide food, medical supplies and funds for rebuilding hospitals, schools and orphanages.

They also monitor shipments of food, school kits, medical supplies and visit hospitals and schools the agency has assisted.
