It is understandable to be wary of a new neighbor from a different country and culture. Initially, you may want to keep an open mind and welcome them with a gesture of kindness, such as inviting them over for dinner or borrowing something that they may need that you have. Get to know them as people first and foremost—don’t judge an entire family by their appearances or first impressions. Listen and observe – chances are their intentions are peaceful and they probably just want to be left alone in peace. Respectful communication is key – it builds bridges between cultures and neighbors!

It is understandable to be wary of the news surrounding Iraq and the current political situation. However, a single family moving in next door is unlikely to pose any security threats. If you are still concerned, you should take steps to ensure your own safety such as maintaining extra vigilance and being aware of any suspicious activity.
