Spirit of America:
I just came across an organization called "[1]Spirit of America."
Others may have already heard of them, and I don't know much about
them, but they seem like a worthwhile and interesting group. Their
website describes their mission as follows:
Spirit of America helps Americans serving in Iraq and Afghanistan
assist people in need. We fulfill requests from American personnel
for goods that improve the lives of local people and thus help
advance freedom and peace.
We have provided school and medical supplies, sewing machines, hand
tools, water barrels, clothing, soccer gear and toys in response to
needs identified by American personnel. We contributed equipment to
Iraqi-owned television stations to establish a better alternative
to Al Jazeera. We helped Iraqi men whose arms were amputated by
Saddam Hussein get a new start on life.
What caught my eye initially was their efforts to protect bloggers and
alternative media in trouble spots in the Middle East, which then led
me to learn all the other charitable things that they are doing.
