CARRICK-ON-SHANNON, IRELAND - AUGUST 17, 2017: Aziz Allakarami talks to his wife, Fawzieh Amiri as he works on his vegetable garden at his family home in Carrick-on-Shannon in Ireland. The Allakarami family were part of a group of more than one hundred Kurdish resettled from Iraq about 11 years ago in the small Irish town in the west of the country. Despite health issues preventing Mr. Allakarami to hold a full time job, he spends his days taking care of his vegetable garden and occasionally selling his products at the local farmers market.
