Benicia, Calif - Our soldiers serving in Iraq are seeing the poorest of the poor among the the world's children. Many don't even have shoes on their feet. If you would like to help these children, read on. No matter what your personal opinion of the Iraq War is, this is an opportunity to directly affect the lives of poor children and improve their conditions.
"Everything would be going to some of the poorest kids in Iraq," said Stuart Nichols, an Air Force serviceman, serving at Balad Air Base in Iraq. "We saw a kid yesterday run up and over a pile of cinderblocks that were piled along side the road and he did it barefooted. I don't know about you but my feet began hurting the second I saw that."
Here is a list of items the children need:
* Kids small dark sunglasses
* Kids small reading glasses
* Kids wind breakers
* Kids rain coats
* Kids pajamas
Clothes (specifically)
* Track or running suits the cheapys from Wal-Mart
* T-shirts and shorts (soccer shirts are huge over here)
* Sandals or flip flops
"The cheapys last long enough over here because the weather and the sun are so harsh that nothing really stands up longer than a year or two max," said Nichols.
The sizes are mainly Kids 6-12 and if possible as unisex as possible because until the girls get old enough they dress pretty much like the boys," he added.
Either combat or peacetime Americans are always willing to help out the oppressed and do the right thing," Nichols said.
