Iraq PCO Weekly Update
Every week, Friday or Saturday I will continue to challenge the media to report PCO’s Iraqi reconstruction achievements and link to the weekly updates.
Sadr City has 15 sewage pumping stations rebuilt. This area of Baghdad was one of the most neglected under Saddam. In the past, sewage flowed in the streets, today they are clean. Furthermore, water treatment plants are being built and extensive networks of water taps are being located in homes.
Education in the UK has been provided for nine electrical engineers who attended the "Developments in Power System Planning and Management" course. This admirable educational effort should be extended to enable wise planning which is crucial considering the serious electrical programs which still exist in Iraq today.
The newly built Mashtal Employment center in the Tissa Nissan district provides job training in a rehabilitated bomb shelter. Sewing machines and computer training are part of the center. It took only 30 days to complete, yet another amazing accomplishment. It is stated more than 20 Iraqi workers were involved in the projects and I believe it. When the Iraqi people want something done, it is completed quickly and with dedication.

The Challenge: I challenge a major network to produce a weekly 30 minute program on the PCO projects. I challenge major and local newspapers to provide, free of charge, donated “white space”, meaning pages, to print these updates every week. Challenge your favorite TV networks and newspapers. Challenge your local radio stations to provide a 7 minute focused update. Dare them to cover these projects! I bet the media would find interested sponsors for this type of programming. It should be prime time. The people want to know and deserve to know where their tax money is going and how it is being used.
