Donations

One of the main missions of the USNavy here in Africa is community assistance. There are quite a few programs that we are involved in, from volunteering at the english discussion groups & baby orphanages to donating a wide variety of supplies to the locals.

These people here are extremely poor. At an unemployment rate over 60%, the majority of people here just sit on the side of the road, where they also sleep. It is quite sad to see.

Therefore, I wanted to post an opportunity for any of you to feel free to mail me donations to give to the locals. There a many ways for us to get materials out to them, and below is a list of guidelines for items that we can give.

If you are interested, email me and I can get you the mailing address. Thanks again for your support.
