Well Wishes for Iraqi Youth
On the morning of Dr. Goodall's lecture, the Harvard Museum of Natural History was host to almost 100 local Roots & Shoots youth members who exhibited their service work at the museum. While waiting for Dr. Goodall to arrive, the youth created messages of friendship and peace that were later delivered to a youth coalition in Baghdad through the Well Wishes and Blessings Project: wellwishesandblessings.com.
