If any of you have ever had any experience with this program you will agree with me that it is TOTALLY awesome!!!!!! They have partnered up with Utah State University Cooperative Extension 4-H here in Utah and offers all sorts of cool things for kids to do. The best part about this is that all the kids are military kids. I firmly believe having someone to talk to in the same situation as you is soooo helpful! Why would it be any different for our kids? Here is the website. http://www.utah4-h.org/htm/omk Most of the fun stuff are held in St. George. They had an amazing summer program last year. Check out the activities. They also promote a program called "Hero Packs". This is a program that fills backpacks for kids affected by military deployment. www.operationmilitarykids.org/public/heropacks.aspx These backpacks are filled with all sorts of stuff from digital cameras, notebooks, pens and picture frames. Fun stuff to help the kids stay in touch with their deployed parent.
Check it out and if any of your organizations are looking for a humanitarian project this is a worthy one.
Again I am sorry if the links aren't working. Just cut and paste.
