Consul General Irvin Hicks and several U.S. Marines visited the Erbil Orphanage House as part of the U.S. Marine Corps annual Toys for Tots charity drive. The children participated in games, took pictures with the delegation, and received a holiday gift from the consulate community. CG Hicks stated “The coming of a new year offers a time to reflect on all that we have and how we can give back to those less fortunate, and we are inspired to see the joy on the faces of the children from Smile House as they receive gifts donated by members of the U.S. Consulate General community in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region.”
