I have come across many web sites that involve various entities gathering shoes, clothes, school supplies et al for the Iraqi Children. Here is an example of one site:

...and heres one I pulled that comes from a soldier in Iraq, asking for a little thing you can do to make a difference :
Dear Anyone Who Cares Anywhere in the World,
My name is Sgt. Lamar Price I am currently with the 278th. Regemental Combat Team at Camp Caldwell Iraq. I am writting to ask you for help with a project I am trying to start here. A few weeks ago the 278th. opened a school in the area near here. I became aware that a lot of the children did not have shoes and were going to school barefoot in 50 degree weather. I am asking people to mail one pair of children's shoes to my address in Iraq. They can be any size boys or girls. They do not have to be new just servicable. I will then collect them and give to our patrols and convoys to pass out. My address is Sgt. Lamar Price RHHT278RCT PLT7 Camp Caldwell Iraq APO AEO 09374 As you know the United States does more good for the people of Iraq than ever gets reported in the media, so any advice or help you can give to get the word out will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you
Sgt. Lamar Price
I wonder if other countries are as involved in making a difference in trying to help the Iraqi people as the US have been  |
