FYI, I did find several stories of various student groups (elementary, college-age, etc) who were able to connect with people in Iraq by videoconference. Often it was with the military or US officials, but not always.

I suppose doing something via Skype would be easier, but, if you can, please let the local coordinators know that I'd be happy to do this. Great story! Bonnie,
