How can you help? It's easy! Collect donations of basic school supplies (paper, notebooks, pencils, crayons, erasers), and donate them to the deployment we are currently supporting! Check the 'wall' of the Facebook page (or the blog) for the most updated information on which deployment/location we are collecting for.
For donations that will have to be shipped...The post office offers a discounted rate on their large 'flat rate' box when going overseas to a US base. If you get together with your church, friends, family, etc. each person could contribute supplies and all pitch in for the shipping costs. From that point your packages will be on their way and will make SUCH a difference in the lives of those students who receive them.
This operation was founded in July of 2009 as a deployment to the Kabul region revealed the great needs that the children of Afghanistan had (specifically pertaining to school supplies). Since then, our operation as done its best to support children in a variety of areas in which members of our Military are deployed (since most these situations involve our men & women in uniform building actual school buildings for the area(s) they are in). Lacking the very basic necessities to be in a 'school setting', our goal is to collect/send/deliver those basic essentials to the children within these various areas.
