Hi\nEveryone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nhave been lucky enough to be included in this mass effort by some\nother fellow UPS pilots to put together these backpacks for the\nrefugee kids. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We\npacked almost 30 backpacks today in a hangar at Bowman Field!! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nI was packing them, I was wondering if my fellow WAI, 99’s and AWAM\nladies & men would like to get involved. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We\nhave 1 member who has already bought several backpacks and a few\nother items off the list I have attached.  I was hoping to get\nsome more help from my aviation sisters and brothers! If you can help\nby either buying supplies off the list, backpacks, or just donating\nyour time to stuff all these backpacks, PLEASE let me know! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nare collecting all these supplies in the next couple weeks and then\nwe will be setting a date in April to pack the backpacks at a hangar\nat Bowman Field.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\nare UPS\/FedEx pilots that have volunteered to take them over to\nGermany where they will be loaded on to a train and sent to where\nthey are needed the most. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please\ncheck out the OPERATION Backpacks4Ukrainiankids on Facebook for some\nvery uplifting pictures and stories on how these simple backpacks are\nmaking a difference in these kid’s lives.\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/429695912285438\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please\nfeel free to share this with as many people as you can!! We need all\nthe help we can get! Thank you very much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have\na great day! Crystal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
