Subject: RE: MIlitary Care Packages I "know" a guy through another online list that I'm on. He just put a call out for stuff for the people that live there, as opposed to the troops. He said that the troops are pretty set where he is, but that the conditions that the kids live in are appalling. Here's what he wrote about the kids.
We donated rice, cooking oil and clothes to the villages, but what these kids want is the same thing that all kids want. Goodies. If anyone would care to donate things like candy, toys, stuffed animals and/or childrens clothing, that would be awsome. Oh, and soccer balls. These folks here love soccer more than anything else. I thought it would be cool if we could get a few dozen balls to give to the villages. Oh, and inexpensive back packs. All of the kids go to school but they usually end up carrying their supplies. He said that military post offices will ship for free to APO addresses. I'm not sure how you're sending stuff, or what you're sending, but you might keep his thoughts in mind. I can PM you his contact info if you're interested in sending that sort of stuff.
