After the advancement of ISIS in 2014, most of Nineveh was emptied of the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac people for the first time in thousands of years. 12,970 homes, 363 churches and 140 public properties were destroyed.

Saving an Endangered Culture

Cultural preservation is important in their homeland, and Shlama commits to that effort.
