Logan called from Iraq this morning to wish me Happy Birthday. A 30 minute phone call was the absolute best present he could possibly deliver. He’s still at a very small combat outpost about 75 kilometers south of Mosul. In the short time he’s been there he’s met with and had dinner at the local tribal Sheikh’s home, visited the village school, had photos taken with the kids, lunched with the police chief, and attempted to spread a bit of goodwill to the locals. He says the local kids are all asking him for pens, pencils, paper (for school) and soccer balls! We’re working on another care package to include those items along with candy and snacks for the children and troops. If anyone has any connections that might be able to provide us with some used soccer balls, it would be very much appreciated!
UPDATE!…
A huge THANK YOU to our friends and clients who responded to our call for school supplies and soccer balls! We’ve now shipped 20 soccer balls and a lot of paper, pencils, pens, and markers for the Iraqi school children in the nearby village of Bayji. An extra note of thanks goes to Plant soccer player and high school senior Lexi Rakestraw and her mom, Jeanette Jason for bringing us ELEVEN soccer balls! THANK YOU AGAIN!
