Items
for Iraqi Children
Below is a suggested
list of items that we will collect for distribution to Iraqi children.
The list certainly is not exhaustive. My suggestion is that any inflatable
balls be sent deflated and we will pump them up. Soccer balls can be
smashed like bowls and stacked together. You may want to talk with your
local WalMart (or any other store). Sometimes, store managers will donate
stuff for free. I'm told the popular items are soccer balls (balls need
pumps), soccer clothes, girl's purses, and watches. I'm sure anything
you donate will be appreciated. Duplication of items is okay. Sometimes
a mass of the same item is better than large variety of single items.
