When I returned to this area, all the houses were abandoned and many of them were destroyed. In Telleskuf a lot of buildings have been reduced to rubble. The school and the children\u2019s home have been obliterated, the doors of the convent were forced open and the nuns\u2019 residence was robbed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Dominican Sisters started the restoration of their convent in Telleskuf located 19 miles from Mosul, in May. \u201cI worked from7 a.m. until 7 p.m. to make the content ready for the children.\u201d This does not only refer to the place and equipment. It has also to do with the handling of emotions: \u201cWe have day-care for children who are three, four and five years old. From 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. we host around one hundred and fifty children, aged six to twelve, and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. we welcome the children who are twelve years old and older. We also visit the people of the community at home and teach the children catechism: we prepare them for their first communion. Before the invasion of IS five sisters worked in the convent, but now there are just two of us. Luckily, we will <a href=\"https:\/\/ordersomapill.com\">generic soma online<\/a> receive backup soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A safe place for the children<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Instead of looking back, Sister Ilham now tries to look ahead: \u201cI am glad to see people return to their houses and getting on with their lives,\u201d says Sister Ilham smiling. \u201cIt is a shame that the government has barely restored the road \u2013 they should contribute more to the rebuilding of the villages and cities. However, our biggest concern is safety in this area. Our first priority is the children. They have been changed since IS took over:\u00a0 by the increase in fighting, I can tell that they have become more nervous and more aggressive.\u201d There is still plenty that is missing but as Sister Ilham stands to leave she shares a final consolation in the midst of such destruction: \u201cEveryone is trying their best to live with each other harmoniously. We try to help the children by giving them peace: at the convent, we offer them a safe place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>ACN supported the restoration of Our Lady of Rosary convent for the Dominican Sisters of St Catherine of Siena in Telusquf (Telleskuf) with <\/em><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>\u20ac 45. 000<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Jaco Klamer \u2013 ACN International<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IRAQ Sister Ilham offers children a safe place near Mosul \u00a0 \u201cIn 2016, around six thousand people had to leave Telleskuf.
