Finance and Economy: Khunaf

“My name is Khunaf. I'm from Shingal/ Khanasor complex. I came to Qadiya. I would like to thank [Lotus Flower] for building this shop for us. We had no salary, no nothing, we thank you so much for what you brought for us… We have lost a couple of lives recently, and took our sick people to doctors.I owe 4 million dinars to people for medicine for my family. One of my family had cancer, their medicine was expensive, another one had a heart attack and their medicine also was expensive…

I would go beg from people if [Lotus Flower] hadn't helped us. We call this green grains Kazean - we get it from trees and wash it, the ones float on water we throw away,and the ones go down water we collect it and put it into these bags and sell each bag for 3500 IQD.”
