"GISHRU is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 2012, that organizes and conducts humanitarian and educational trips for Assyrians born in the Diaspora to the ancestral Assyrian homeland in Turkey and Iraq. The diverse and multifaceted itinerary includes guided day trips to archeological Assyrian ruins such as Nimrod and Khinnis as well as ancient monasteries dating to 300 BC, participation in relief efforts, activities in remote farms and villages, and interactive workshops with local Assyrian student and youth groups.
​
Our goal is to preserve the Assyrian identity via commitment to service, connections to the Homeland, and fostering leaders for tomorrow. This occurs at a perilous time for Assyrians who have and continue to experience genocide and mass exodus in their ancestral lands."
