Bill Stutts is serving with the National Guard in Kabul, Afghanistan. Jill and his girls are collecting second-hand clothing and shoes to ship to the Afghan people. They are collecting clothing through May 1 and will then ship whatever they have. You can read more about the project on Jill's blog.
Here is what Bill writes about the need for used clothing.
"Just got your e-mail and I think any hand me downs of clothes and children's shoes, in any condition within reason. Remember, this is the second poorest country in the world behind Haiti. These people have nothing and would be happy to get clothing. They almost riot when it is handed out. The women are the most aggressive to get things for themselves and their children. The Afghan police and Army doing security, will tend to let their friends in first and it has to be very well controlled as they are so desperate to get these things. Blankets and comforters are are also good. Any season clothing is OK."
So let's round up those shoes and clothes that we don't need and get them to Jill. Let's help Bill be a blessing to the Afghan people.
