A special thank you to MoJo's 8 year old son, Bobby. If you like the cars and motorcycles on this thread, you can thank him. He thought his mommy didn't have a clue and decided to help her out.

Sailors Bring Hope to Iraqi School Children

Story Number: NNS030716-05
Release Date: 7/17/2003 1:08:00 AM

By Journalist 3rd Class Shawnee McKain, Commander U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/Commander 5th Fleet Public Affairs

UMM QASR, Iraq (NNS) -- Imagine trying to multiply three digit numbers. Now imagine not having any paper or pencils to use while doing the calculation. This is what students in Iraq are facing every day. But now, thanks to a few Sailors and Marines, multiplying will be a bit easier. Students in two elementary schools in Umm Qasr, Iraq, were given school supplies as part of a humanitarian aid effort started by Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (COMUSNAVCENT)/Commander, U.S. 5th Fleet (COMFIFTHFLT) chaplain’s office.

“Umm Qasr is the main port for Iraq and a very neglected, economically depressed area," said Cmdr. Michael Parisi, the deputy COMUSNAVCENT/COMFIFTHFLT chaplain. “We wanted to let the American troops do some community relations and win hearts and minds in Iraq.”

The school supplies consisted of 10 blackboards, 300 binders with paper and pencils, and 23 soccer balls with air pumps and needles. The supplies were collected over a one-year period and purchased with community relations funds by the COMUSNAVCENT/COMFIFTHFLT chaplain’s office. The 1st Class Petty Officers Associations of Southwest Asia and Marine Corps personnel helped assemble the binders, and ship the supplies to Camp Doha in Kuwait.
