TIKRIT — Having one brother murdered and a brother-in-law kidnapped and tortured, Sa’ad Rasheed narrowly escaped with his life but continues working in the reconstruction of his country.
Daily, Iraq is featured in western media headlines. Reports of insurgents jam the news waves with doom and gloom. While the dangers are real and bad things happen, the real stories here are the ones of bravery and dedication.
Bricks and mortar may not be as exciting or as riveting as insurgents ambushing the innocent, but dedication and commitment to rebuilding a country, risking life and limb in doing so is certainly worthy of headline news and the attention of the world.
