SUMMARY:“In Their Shoes” 5K fun run/walk with Iraqi’s Ambassador Lukm
 an Faily
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe Iraqi Children Foundation (ICF) will host its second an
 nual “IN THEIR SHOES” 5K fun run/walk at Cameron Run Regional Park in 
 Alexandria\, VA\, on Saturday\, May 10\, at 8 am.  The 5K will benefit de
 sperately poor Iraqi orphans and street children after years of war.   I
 raq’s Ambassador to the US Lukman Faily will be the Distinguished Guest 
 Runner.\n\nAccording to a December 2012 UNICEF report\, there are approxim
 ately 800\,000 orphans in Iraq today.   Many orphans and other displaced
  children work on the streets or in other dangerous environments to suppor
 t widowed mothers or extended family. This humanitarian crisis poses a thr
 eat to the future security and stability of Iraq.  Unless effective actio
 n is taken in the next 5-10 years\, many of these children – especially 
 those in desperate poverty – may reach adulthood without help for the tr
 auma and suffering they have experienced\, leaving them vulnerable to extr
 emists\, criminals\, and human traffickers.   The Iraqi Children Foundat
 ion’s “IN THEIR SHOES” 5K is focused on raising awareness of the suf
 fering\, poverty\, and vulnerability of these kids and mobilizing loving s
 upport for food\, tutoring\, emotional care\, and more to address their ba
 sic needs.\n\n	WHAT: “IN THEIR SHOES – 2014” 5K fun run/walk\n	WHEN:
