From a Soldier: "All I see is insurgents. Men who are insurgents, Women who make insurgents, and kids that grow up to be insurgents. We must break the chain!"
YELLOW RIBBON GIRLS
Help the Orphans
Socks Rattles Baby bottles Shirts Small stuffed animals Baby wet wipes Shorts Small cars and trucks Baby powder Bibs Small baby dolls Small toddler toys Many children arrive at the orphanages at 1 week old. Boys and girls share an orphanage until age 6, then boys 6 - 16 and girls 6 - 18 are separated. Most children do not leave the orphanage until they are fully grown. With our help and prayers and the humanitarian efforts from around the world, the children of Iraq can look forward to a brighter future.
(For each box of donated items for the orphanages the postage is between $10 - $20. The Yellow Ribbon Girls can only send items to the children when we have extra postage funds. Our first priority each month is the soldier supplies boxes, after shipping to the troops, if we have extra funds, or if the person or group provides postage money, we send several boxes to the orphanages.)
