Edmay Mayers helps rebuild mud (mud!) schools in Iraq. In her spare time she is doing everything she can to get stuffed animals to kids there. Story HERE and HERE.
“Al Diwaniyah Kindergarten was amazing. I did not have enough bears to give out that day. I only had 50 and they had 70 children. So, when we returned to Camp Echo, I purchased 50 more bears...I want my granddaughter to be proud of me and that is why I am here.”
You can send your used stuffed animals (maybe the kids will help pick them out) to:
Edmay Mayers
USACE - GRS
APO AE 09331
You can also go where she's gone to buy stuffed animals -- Oriental Trading Company -- and have them sent directly to her.
