children can carry forward the ancient microtonal music styles and the ancient poetic lyrics of their civilization. </p> <p align="center">The creation of these schools has been met by these Iraqi refugees with a huge welcome.<br /> Having been driven out of their home country, millions of them are now living in Syria and Jordan, the only countries into which they have been allowed entrance in large numbers.</p> <p align="center">Many Iraqi musicians, highly skilled in these ancient indigenous styles, are taking this opportunity to begin the work of passing their art onto young Iraqi refugee children while earning precious livlihood for their families.</p> <p align="center">We have sources in Jordan and Syria for traditional instruments for maqam music such as ouds, violins, qanuns, nays, riqqs, and santours so that these Iraqi students can practice their musical arts. </p> <p align="center">We a small but efficient organization.<br /> We actually get the job done!</p> <p

Will you please send me a brief paragraph or so by way of introduction for you and Kristina. I want to introduce you with whatever words you would like. Thanks so much and sorry I've been negligent about this. G </p> <p>Dear G,<br/> Gee... we always love to hear ourselves introduced and discover what attracted people to us... Generally we hear that people appreciate: 1) the fact that we went into Baghdad with musical instruments to make friends with Iraqis at the same time that the US government was invading and bombing (see <a href="http://www.musicalmissions.com/">www.musicalmissions.com</a> ) 2) that we learn and study music and languages -- we sing in something like 8 languages and I speak 5, three of them quite fluently... 3) we are missionaries in REVERSE: we go to LEARN FROM OTHERS, not to spread US culture... 4) the music we carry is extraordinarily beautiful and very exotic... the indigenous middle-eastern music we play is microtonal and based on scales called maqamat that are very ancient... they come from way before the invention of the piano and the equal tempered scales of Europe... people frequently say that they respond to our music from some ancient familiarity as if it was in their DNA... from the point of view of physics, these ancient scales are, in fact, more perfectly in tune, with intervals known to musicians as &#34;just intonation&#34;. I have authored a book which presents 45 of these ancient scales to musicians who have the appropriate instruments on which to learn and play them... when we play our &#34;Arabic Trance Dance&#34; events we play for 3 hours straight and facilitate deep spiritual trance... (see <a href="http://www.innernationals.com/">www.innernationals.com</a> ) 5) the images we show and stories we tell pave the way for true freedom on planet earth... both internal and external... 6) our support for Iraqi refugee children in Damascus (see <a href="http://www.musicalmissionsofpeace.org/">www.musicalmissionsofpeace.org</a> ) 7) our support for other American &#34;musical ambassadors&#34; who have traveled, studied and performed in Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran (see <a href="http://www.musicalmissionsofpeace.org/">www.musicalmissionsofpeace.org</a> ) 8) one of my books, &#34;Spiritual Traveler: Journeys Beyond Fear&#34; begins to address our largest themes: the world is full of wonderful people! Go get to know them! Sing and dance with them! Above all, don't let the prejudices and fears of the politicians deter you from embracing your own freedom and all of humanity. </p><p>I hope these ideas help...<br/> cameron </p><p>Dear Cameron,<br/> Thank you so much for sending me all this. After our phone conversation today I realized that I had this information from you web site. However, I had thought you might have a nice succinct intro for me to use all prepared. Now I am going to have to come up with one. That will be difficult since I want to say it all. I am very impressed with what you have and are doing so it will be difficult to be short so that there is as much time as possible to hear from you. A challenge, but a happy one. Looking forward to our time together.

They have gone to Arab countries to play the native and ancient music of those countries - resulting in befriending thousands. They did this, primarily, by playing on the streets. <span class="quoted_reply">&#62;From this activity, they initiated a program to develop teaching programs for Iraqi children to learn traditional Arabic music - focusing on Iraqi Refugee populations in particular. </span> They have been doing a tremendous service to save the lives of Americans - by spreading a sense of Family and Peace. Perhaps you would not agree that they are heroes, because they don't kill people for peace...they befriend them and it works. For thousands of us who know what they're doing...they are the finest, most inspiring of heroes who are helping to protect us in a long lasting way. </p><p>It is difficult to measure the joy that is received by hundreds of people who no longer hate the United States, though they have been ravaged by our war - thanks to the efforts of 2 people who have brought joy into their hearts and the hearts of their children and who have sown the seeds of Hope.&#34; </p><p>Cameron and Kristina still have some dates available on the West coast for their current presentations: </p><p>Music Rebuilds Bridges of Trust and Heals the Wounds of War!
