For Soldiers interested in having family members or friends participate in the OiC program, the most efficient way to help Iraqi children is to create school supply kits, which will be distributed to each student.
Assemble each kit according to the following list of items:
* One pair of blunt-end scissors
* One 12-inch ruler with metric markings
* 12 new pencils with erasers
* One small pencil sharpener
* One large eraser
* One box of colored pencils
* One package of notebook paper
* One composition book
* Three folders with inside pockets
* One zippered pencil bagPlease enclose no additional items, and be sure that all items are new. Pack only the listed supplies in a backpack or in a 2-gallon sized zipper seal plastic bag
For Soldiers stationed at Anaconda, school supply kits can be given to the G-5 located off New Jersey Avenue. In the States, servicemembers and civilians can send their packages to the OiC headquarters at: .
