Bring Joy to Someone on the Other Side of the World

Have any extra toys school/craft supplies? I know a way to put them to good use!  


Operation Give website: "We are a non-profit, non-partisan, grass-roots effort to coordinate the collection and distribution of toys (and necessities) for the children of Iraq and Afghanistan. When you send a gift, you give more than a package, you give smiles and hope, one gift at a time." 




 This program was started by volunteers helping Paul Holton (or Chief Wiggles) who has and is currently serving in Iraq. He started by sharing small items that he had, a small toy, an extra toothbrush, etc, and saw how grateful and happy the children were to have such a prized possession.  This led him to more giving and getting others involved and now he runs Operation Give.  I encourage you to look into Operation Give and see if you might also be able to help put a smile on the fae of a child in Iraq.
