Soldier’s Angels

November 19, 2019September 17, 2019 by Nollmeyer, Gustave

The purpose of this organization is to provide a place where anyone can send letters to active duty or veteran members of the forces. They give locations where you can drop of your letters and they mail them out or you can mail them to their head location and then they mail them out to troops. This organization gives the members of the military support and encouragement for all they do and all they have sacrificed. They not only deliver letters but also hold donations, so they are able to send care packages and essential needs to the ones currently serving.
Not only can any community give recognition for these hard-working solders, but they also can helo them once they have come back from overseas jobs. There is a program called ‘Fund A Scholar’ where the program helps members of the military complete their degree or find a future once they are either retiring out or simply wanting a degree for progress forward in their lives.

The Right to Write program is an organization that is trying to collect pens and pencils to send to third world countries. Kim, their founder started by taking clothes overseas to donate while she was visiting. She found that most people wanted more of her pens than anything else! She started then to collect pens and pencils to send to schools, orphanages and hospitals either by individual volunteers, travelers or through other organizations. These people distribute them by hand to children who need them the most. Their goal is to make sure that all classrooms have the materials to work with in the schools. The organization is based out of New York, and you mail the collections of materials to the hub if you cannot personally take them to another country with you. You also can arrange to take materials with you on a trip out of the country as well.
