A Concrete Way to Help in Iraq
If you'd like to do something to help the people of Iraq, here's an easy suggestion: send school supplies.
Major Scott Baum of Fort Worth, Texas, is spearheading "Operation School House" to collect supplies for children and teachers in Iraq. They need standard school supplies that all of you have probably bought at some point: pencils, notepads, pencil sharpener, color markers, crayons, scissors, erasers, glue, writing paper, construction paper, coloring books, backpacks. Teachers also need larger quantities of highlighters, staplers, and red pens.
What a deal: "The post office provides the free shipping box and the customs declaration form, and the maximum price for a shipment is only $8."
Send supplies to:
Operation School House
Col. Fred Woerner
3rd Division Headquarters
Al Kisik, Iraq
APO/AE 09334
If you'd like an electronic link to the article from which I pulled this information, let me know. I'm operating on the starfish principle: the school supplies I send won't cure Iraq's ills, but I'm hoping it will make a difference in at least a few lives there.
