Need some help here guys.

I have some folks putting together care packages to be sent to the troops.

The trick is you cannot simply send stuff to Iraq, so I need someone over there to receive and distribute this stuff.
(Don't worry I'm not from Kenya! :D )

Help me out guys! Help out our guys, get me some addresses!

We will be sending small stuff the guys need and want. Magazines, chapsticks, razors, chewing gum, nylons... um, well maybe not nylons....anything that is easy to get here and hard to get there.
Also looking for suggestions and requests from anyone over there or who has been.

The packages must be kept small so no asking for bikini babes, sorry. :lol:

Not asking for donations, I just need people over there to receive these packages and help spread 'em around a bit!

Reply to this thread or E-mail me please. Tzulschai@msn.com

PLEASE HELP!

They aint allowed to call it the Red Cross anymore bud, incase it offends the Muslim folks.

Damn stupid if you ask me, if your family is starving do you care what symbol is on the aid truck?
