The Impact of Operation International Children
Actor Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump, Apollo 13) and author Laura Hillenbrand (Seabiscuit) launched Operation International Children, a program that enabled Americans to send school supply kits to students in great need. These students lacked the basic supplies that American children take for granted.
Sinise explained, "So many people have benefited on both sides of the program. The goodwill demonstrated by our troops through Operation International Children's outreach has aided in the fight for the hearts and minds for nearly a decade.
OIC has remained a beautiful way to demonstrate American generosity to the future leaders of those war-torn nations."
Among those that donated were myself, many of my students, and you within the Pointe Viven community.
This was an amazing program to be a part of with my students and others. Children in the U.S. discovered so much about the world, students in other countries, and generosity. The impact of Operation International Children was powerful.
Thank you and take the hard work of OIC as inspiration in your own life and keep the flame of generosity going.
