Suggested Weapons
of Mass Affection!
With your help, we can help send school
supplies and small toys and tee-shirts to the
boys and girls of
Tal Afar,
in northern Iraq, from the people of Southern California. Please Help!
Here's a list that includes the type of goods useful for our project. Using gallon ziplock
type baggies works well, and can include any of the following:
- 12-inch rulers with metric markings
- new pencils with erasers
- pencil sharpeners
- NO crayons
- colored pencils are acceptable
- writing paper (composition notebooks, lined paper, construction paper)
- file folders with pockets
- zippered pencil bags, etc.
- small cars, (e.g., Hot Wheels types)
- small super bouncy balls
- small stuffed animals (e.g. Beanie Babies)
- t-shirts (the children love t-shirts that have any kind of town name, sports, or school logo.)
- individually wrapped hard candy (NO chocolate)
- coloring books with minimal text
We have been informed by our son John, and other military sources, that all material distributed
to Iraqi children must be new. NO previously worn t-shirts, used pencils, used toys, etc.
