Burgers for Democracy! 9th November 2010

Go, buy and eat a FABULOUS burger – and raise money for the OneIraq campaign – a cause aiming to raise awareness of the plight faced by young Iraqi men and women growing up in a country decimated by war.

All the money raised will go towards helping Iraq become self-sustainable – it will help fund FC Unity’s Democracy, Citizenship and Leadership workshops for young Iraqi men and women.
