Chaplain Damon Saxton Iraq-School supplies

Chaplain Damon Saxton and the 7th Sustainment Brigade serving near Nasiriyah have been busy making hundreds of desks for school kids in Southern Iraq. Now they need the school kits to go along with those! With your support, Spirit of America will provide school supplies which include a quality backpack filled with paper, pencils, scissors, glue, colored pencils, and more.

Original Request from Chaplain Saxton

[Sending ] 200 kits would be great. That is about the average size of the schools that we are going to visit. I have attached a couple pictures of us working on the desks that we are making for the schools. We will deliver the desks along with the school supplies soon. Probably shortly after they get here. We hope to have 150 desks made by next week. I have attached a couple pictures of our project. The first one is some of the desk frames that we got from a warehouse in Iraq. They are old frames that the seats and tops have broken off of. We are building new seats and tops. Chaplain Damon Saxton, 7th Sustainment Brigade serving near Talill Airbase in Southern Iraq.
