Great News-Great People
I recieved an email this morning from TSgt Frick informing me that another delivery is going to be made either today or tomorrow! He also informed me that the first delivery was set up and completed by Lt Colonel Holm and one of his old friends from high school. Together, they run a children's charity (www.globalroots.org) and have the same (plus many more) ideas in mind for helping those children in Afghanistan and throughout the world.
I am still working on pictures to get up here on our blog (from the first and second deliveries), but if you go to Lt Colonel Holm's organization website (www.globalroots.org) you can click on the section 'Supply Mission to Afghanistan' OR read at the bottom under 'BREAKING NEWS' to hear about the first delivery!
I am so thankful to everyone that has been involved in keeping me informed and keeping this great cause going over in Afghanistan. Those men and women have a million things to do while deployed over there, and for them to take the time and do such wonderful things for these children is truly an amazing blessing. Also, a BIG thank you to all of you who have collected and sent supplies!
Keep collecting! Keep sending!
We ARE making a difference...one pencil at a time =)
*stay tuned for pictures and an updated address to send supplies to*

DELIVERY!
I can't thank this group enough for all their help with OpKFK. They have so much going on over in Afghanistan right now, and for them to take the time to organize/execute these deliveries is just such a blessing!
Stay tuned for pictures and videos of the delivery.

Keep the supplies coming!
A few things to note:
* We are now focusing on JUST sending supplies...NO kits. Rob discovered it is more cost effective and easier to transport to the kiddos when the supplies are NOT in bags. So when you send items just pack them into boxes and ship them off.
* Rob will be leaving the area within the next month so please send any supplies to the address below from now on.

WE GOT THE ADDRESS!!!!
We have the address and a GREAT contact over in Afghanistan. His name is Rob (a Major in the US Air Force) and unknowingly to us has already started a school supply collection over there. The timing is great, and now we can all collaborate together to make great things happen!
Here is the address that all Kits will be sent to. Again, you can fit about 7 kits in the large flat-rate boxes at the post office and they will give you a discounted price ($11 and some change) since it is going overseas.

Waiting on the details
We are still figuring out the details over in Afghanistan, but hopefully within the next week we'll get an address and an official 'contact'. From that point we'll send our first round of packages over and go from there :)
We are VERY excited because the support for this cause, so far, has been great! Thank you all SOOOO much and check back every few days for updated information!

The Beginnings and the "School Kit"

School Kits:
- 1 spiral notebook
- 1 eraser
- 1 box of crayons
- 5 pencils
- 1 pencil sharpener
- a small toy-optional
- a piece of candy/box of raisins/fruit snacks (something that won't melt)-optional
This above list is just the suggested minimum. If you would like to include MORE of a specific item, please feel free. The more we can give...the more the children will benefit :)
I will post again with the mailing address for the items. If you are able to get a few families together to each make kits (say 5 per family) that would be great! You can even take the information to your church (or any group you meet with regularly; bunko, poker, book clubs, coffee groups, etc). Once all the items are collected everyone can pitch in a dollar or two for shipping and the packages can be on their way! The post office offers special discounts for 'flat-rate' boxes going overseas to a US base. Once they see the address the discount will be taken off automatically.
Questions? Comments? You can email me at: operationkitsforkids@gmail.com
