Jesus Loves The Little Children All The Children Of The World! And So Do The Soldiers Of Alpha Co!
The Alpa Co of 150 CEB MS National Guard have adopted a local Iraqi school and we are accepting donations of school supplies! There are around 100 kids in this school.
Captain Cager suggestions for the kits follows:
"Each Kit contains basic, badly-needed items that can make a world of difference to a child heading to school," he explains. "Assembling standardized Kits ensures that each child receives the same number of the most needed items, facilitates customs clearance, and relieves our volunteers and soldiers of the time-consuming and labor intensive process of sorting and allocating random donated items. Kits are wildly popular among Iraqis, who often request them."Capt. Cager suggests each Kit be assembled according to the following list of items. Please enclose NO additional items, and be sure that all items are new and unused. Pack only the listed supplies in a in a 2-gallon sized zipper seal plastic bag.· One pair of blunt-end scissors (#337642 - $.87 ea)· One 12-inch ruler with metric markings (#133507 - $.37 ea) · 12 new pencils with erasers (#107580 - 12/$.68 or #733601 - 72/$2.98)· One small pencil sharpener (#501833 - $.68) · One large eraser (#485185 - 3/$1.59)· One box of colored pencils (Crayons melt in Iraqi heat!) (#274984 - 12 pencils for $2.78)· One package of notebook paper (#589483 - 150 sheets/$1.20)· One composition book (#588268 - 100 pages/ $1.74)· Three folders with inside pockets (#433664 - 10/$3.18) · One zippered pencil pouch (#434357 - $1.76)These items, priced from Office Depot's web site, http://www.officedepot.com ,can be assembled for about $12. Add $3 for postage, and the kits run about $15 each.
Also the children are in need or shoes, clothes, toys, etc..... Flip flops are acceptable and tee shirts and shorts are wonderful... no religous items please!
