From Chief Wiggles, Baghdad, Oct. 04, 2003

 

To all who have sent toys:

 

I cannot begin to tell you how exciting this has been for the past

two days as the boxes of toys have started coming into my office. So

far I have received about 50 boxes of just the greatest stuff, very

carefully and thoughtfully selected. I humbly salute all of you for

finding it within yourself to sacrifice your own personal wants to

send a package of happiness to the children of Iraq.

 

 

It has been like Christmas here in October for all of us on my team

who have been opening your packages as we attempt to sort the items

to insure the right kids get your gifts. It is so much fun going

through the boxes, evening playing with the toy dinosaurs as I had

flash backs from my own childhood. I am so thrilled with the items

you have sent for these kids.

 

 

I took out the first toys and school supplies to a family we visited

with tonight, treasuring each smile and sparkle in the children's

eyes as I handed them the specially selected items. You are making so

many great things possible here in this land of trouble. This is just

so magical.

 

 

I am working on my distribution channels to a variety of

destinations. I have spoken with a few doctors who are hooking me up

with the children's hospitals in the country. I am also working with

the people who regularly go out to about a dozen orphanages around

the country to get in their loop, even planning on going out with

them on their next outing with the kids next Thursday, (by the way

the orphanages need kids socks and underwear for ages 3 to 18, both

boys and girls). I have about a dozen schools that I will be working

with also to provide things for their kids.

 

 

One of my best friends and his family have agreed to assist me in

this effort by offering a warehouse facility to store the toys, which

has a guard and is secured. He also has a truck at his disposal to

help me move the toys from place to place.

 

 

Miracles continue to happen as people everywhere catch the vision of

what this means to the children of this land, putting smiles back on

their faces and the twinkle back in their eyes. You are all doing

great things, greater and bigger than me or my team or anyone. You

all are just the greatest and I love you for it.

 

 

God bless you all.

 

Thanks from Chief Wiggles, from the bottom of my heart.
