Gulf Region South DistrictAN NASIRIYAH — Many Americans are collecting and shipping school supplies to the headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in an effort to support mission and help the people of Iraq rebuild their country.
Delivering school supplies does not only help the children who receive them, but the effort also helps the growth of education, which is an essential factor for the successful establishment of democracy in Iraq.
Asked if she thought this mission was important, Edmay Mayers, a program analyst with the Gulf Region South district said, “Most definitely! Children need to be happy, as happy as possible and what we do here in GRS enhances their happiness. This is thanks to the American people who so generously send boxes and boxes of items to help our mission.”
