Meet us

With the trip, I wanted to connect my children with their homelands. To feel this land and for my children to share all of this with me.

In 2008, it was with my parents that I crossed the roads of Mesopotamia for the first time. It was magnificent! The color of the sun on the mountains, I have never forgotten it!

Through this journey, I was finally able to explore the land of my ancestors and discover the history of a thousand-year-old civilization, that of the Assyrians, mine.

This trip allowed us to rediscover the lands of our parents, to maintain the link with Mesopotamia to better transmit our history and our culture to our daughters.

For us, this trip was an opportunity to discover our history on our ancestral lands, and share it with our children. We also met the community and experienced the Akitu festivities. It was magical!

I left my village Bespin in 1979. Since then, I have never returned there. Today, I am 70 years old and I was able to see Bespin again, the village of my childhood, where I experienced moments of joy but also of suffering.
