School Supplies

Part of rebuilding a country is helping give the youth, the nation’s future, a positive start to life. A group of soldiers are requesting help for a school they have adopted. The unit, the 37th Transportation Command based out of Kaiserslautern, Germany, hopes to dispel rumors that the military is trying to hurt Iraq. They are looking for notebooks, paper, pencils, crayons, erasers, glue, tape, kiddie scissors, chalk, folders, note cards, and other school supplies. Items absolutely CANNOT be religious. Items listed as not useful include rulers, English language books, flashcards, calculators and anything with English numbers or language.

To participate in this program, email Deb Benoit at canddbenoit at earthlink.net for the address of the unit and their current school supply needs. Deb then sends their name to Chris (the contact for the unit) so he knows to expect a package. He will send a note if a return address is supplied so that the Angel knows the package got there safely.
