Hey Anamika1 and others:

I believe that USAID and US Embassy, who have recently co located at the New Embassy Compound in the Mahararajgunj area are seeking volunteers to go to Iraq for a year at one time.  I believe quite a few Nepalis who work for USG in Nepal have already volunteered and there are at quite a few Nepalis working on behalf of the USG and its contractors in Iraq as we speak.

I think that for some of the people posted in rural outposts in Kailali, Bardiya, Rukum, Rolpa, Salyan and a few other districts in the height of the Maoist insurgency in Nepal, it was as dangerous if you were working for the then "His Majesty's Government."

My point being, if the money is good, then go for it.  There are dangers in every aspect of our lives, be it at the Ronald Reagan Building in DC, or the New Embassy Compound in Kathmandu or inside the Green Zone in Bagdad!!
