VP note on Operation Iraqi Children Spring 2006
From OIC website - OIC in Action Providers: Click Here! to learn more about the efforts that have been undertaken by various groups around the world to provide School Supplies for the children of Iraq.
As the MilVets VP, I organized an OIC school supply kits collection drive that took place during the latter part of the Spring 2006 semester. By the end of the project, my top goal was for OIC at CU to look right, and it did. I had the sponsors I wanted, we had up around campus the large color flyers I wanted, I had the collection boxes in most of the places on campus I wanted, and the drive projected the message I wanted to the campus. We even collected a decent amount of donations, thanks especially to the General Studies community and Students United for America. I didn't get Spectator coverage for the project, but we did get a solid plug (above link) on the OIC website and an official thank-you letter.
On a personal level, I carried out a worthwhile project I wanted to do for its own sake.
For MilVets, we checked the block on a community service project and worked with a range of political campus groups - which was hitherto taboo - on a pro-military apolitical campus project.
Here are the thank-you letters from Operation Iraqi Children and People To People International to MilVets for the Spring 2006 school supply kits drive.
