documenting the aid
distribution that you made
possible.
We can't stop now.

Bravo to:
Robin Schmidt, Delta Airlines Flight Attendant!
Robin volunteers for our missions to South Africa...and doesn't stop there!
 Every year, Robin Schmidt
'adopts' American soldiers
who are on deployment in
Iraq, Afghanistan, and
other parts of the globe.
The troops have explained
to her over and over again,
the importance of
receiving mail to help them
cope with the time away from their loved ones back
home.
In an effort to uplift spirits
and boost morale over the holidays, join Robin's 'Mail Call' for the
2-7 Cav (known as Ghost Battalion)!
Visit the Donate to a Project Page to support Robin's project.
The troops may not be Home for the Holidays, but Robin is sending them the next best thing!
Bravo, Robin!

Volunteers
Terri Bobbitt, American Airlines Flight Attendant, Reports:
Marcdaile home to Haiti from
Atlanta!
"The big pink fluffy dress with
black velvet was a trick!
She
wanted to wear her pretty
dress so others would think
she is a Cinderella....but
hidden underneath it....her
track shoes. Meet Marcdaile
St. Victor...and not very much
slows this little 3 year old
charmer down."
Please enjoy Terri's story...
