Yes, and I'll certainly let you know if I get any feedback on them.
OPERATION CRAYON
To those who want to send school supplies for Iraqi children again this year, I have secured finally the contact APO for Operation Crayon this year.
Walmart and Target have school supplies on sale now, and the school year begins in August in Iraq. So, those who want to participate will need to purchase items and mail them (in flat rate priority boxes) in the next two weeks.
FReepmail me for the APO if you want to help out this year.
The soldiers of the 101st Airborne will love taking these items to local schools in poor neighborhoods.
Items that are requested are writing paper (wide and regular ruled), construction paper, notebooks, pencils, rounded-end scissors, pencil sharpeners, pencil erasers, pens, markers, chalk, chalk board erasers, glue, metric rulers, soccer balls and jump ropes, band-aids, and of course crayons (preferably in 24 packs).
I've already got 48 boxes of 24 Crayola crayons for 20 cents each for my mother to send. As a former school teacher, mother loves this annual project, which is why I beat the bushes to find out who took over the project after the Beast Battery and Fox Battery left Kirkuk.
