Operation Flintstone Provides Vitamins to 2,000 Afghan Children

We've begun our Spring MedCAPs/VetCAPs recently, completing two just this week. For those not aware a MedCAP is an quasi-impromptu medical civic action that we hold to treat basic illnesses, distribute health and welfare items such as toothbrushes, anti-parasite medication, vaccinations and to teach basic health and hygene classes to both adults and children. The VetCAPs treat the people's livestock.



The great news is that in addition to the health care and supplies normally provided to the public, thanks to the efforts of my mother and everyone else that pitched in with either time or money to help with Operation Flintstone, we were able to provide a month's supply of children's chewable vitamins to over 2,000 Afghan children so far. Additionally, we have given hundreds of mother's vitamin drops for their infant and toddler children. We still have some left to give out on MedCAPs in the near future but I got some great pics and wanted to share them with everyone that contributed and waited so patiently while we all learned the difficulties of shipping health supplies to the needy through the military system. ;)



The vitamins came loose in bulk boxes of 25,000 each, so we had a vitamin-packing party and filled dose packets with 28/ea. to individually disperse them.

I can't tell everyone how thankful and appreciative everyone here is to have these. Thank you so much for your participation and support, and a very special "Thank You" to my mother, who made this all possible.
