Boxes to Panama

A BIG thank you to Col Daniels of the 820th REDHORSE squadron, we have been able to get an address and send some supplies off to an area in Panama. Currently in Panama, they (REDHORSE) are building school buildings and medical facilities for the local communities. Their work is a true blessing to the people of that community, and their impact will be life lasting. We sent off a bunch of supplies for the kiddos there yesterday, and hope to be able to support them as needed in the future. The pictures below show some of the supplies sent, as well as a picture provided by Col Daniels of the kiddos we are helping.

Like always, thank you for sticking with and supporting OpKFK...and thank you to all those who have served or are serving this great country of ours!

Great News-Great People

Some GREAT news and information to share with all the OpKFK supporters!

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!

Thanks to the amazing group working with us over in Afghanistan the supplies were delivered a week or so ago to a orphanage/school in Kabul. TSgt Frick is currently trying to round up pictures and a video of the delivery, and once I get that from him I will get them posted.

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.
