Help Us Bring Hope to Afghanistan!

By Joe Katzman on September 21, 2004 6:56 AM | 1 Comment | 1 TrackBack

Project Mercury Hope is similar to Chief Wiggles' Iraqi efforts. Master Corporal Storring is a Canadian Soldier who was deployed with the ISAF Peacekeeping force near Kabul. Mercury Hope is his effort to mobilize civilians to help the soldiers help the orphans of Afghanistan. I spoke with them by phone yesterday.

The problem: They have 7 tons of goods ready to go, and need to find a way to ship it to Kabul for distribution.

We'd be interested in hearing from people in the blogosphere who might have suggestions for them, or organizations who may be able to partner with Project Mercury Hope in order to get this done. Please email joe, or leave a comment in our comments section.

My husband is in Afghanistan also and I have been sending humanitarian items for them to distribute. We have sent over 2000 pounds of items and our biggest challenge is getting the money for shipping. Good luck.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
