A forward from Andrea Clark--


Hello, Blackhawk family~Many of you have requested guidance on what you can send for the children and families of Afghanistan. One of our parents put the Squadron in touch with an organization that offers guidance on what to send. That organization is the Davy Weaver Memorial Project,http://www.davyweavermemorialproject.org/how_to_help.html.The Squadron Chaplain, CPT (CH) Gregg Green, is our point of contact and packages can be sent in care of him. You will see our FOB's mailing address listed as NEW on the homepage. By clicking on "How to help" on the left side of the homepage you can see a list of suggested items to send. The chaplain has personally requested crayons, culturally sensitive coloring books and individually wrapped hard candy requested for the children. In addition to sending items for the Afghan people the chaplain had some current requests from our soldiers. This list will change as needs change. When I receive an update I will pass it along. I have attached the list and pasted it below.
Please consider how you might help with these efforts. Sincerely, AndreaItems For our Soldiers - - Men’s Body Wash and Deodorant - Dental Floss - Kool-Aid singles, “Or any drink additives that makes water taste like something else.” - DVD’s -Magazines about cars, sports, muscle building, etc (Religious magazines do not get looked at, per the chaplain) - Children’s books for the “United Through Reading Program.” The Chaplain is video-taping fathers reading stories to send home for their children. He needs more children's books. Items To Pass out to Afghan Children – - Individually wrapped hard candy - Crayons - Coloring books that are culturally sensitive ( I was specifically told no Disney princess type books.) No Christian coloring books. Suggestions might be books about animals or plants.
