Sister Ilham Dominican Sisters
Sister Ilham offers children a safe place in the convent in Talesskef. She started the recovery of the convent of Talesskef, 19 miles from Mosul, in May 2017 and says “I worked from seven a.m. until seven p.m. to make the convent ready for the children. … Our first priority is the children. They have been changed by the control of ISIS: by the increase in fights, I can tell that they have become more nervous and more aggressive. But everyone is trying their best to live with each other harmoniously. We try to help the children by giving them peace: at the convent, we offer them a safe place.”
