Rapport Afghanistan has begun it's fundraising campaign aimed at a goal of $200,000. The money will be used to ship up to 50,000 coats directly to military units in Afghanistan using 40 foot containers. The logistics are enormous considering the 40 foot containers must be shipped from Minnesota to Pakistan. They will then be loaded on trucks and transported over the Khyber Pass to Jalalabad, where Afghan customs will receive them as commercial freight. From that point they will be transported through the war zone to Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) where designated military units will be operating along the Afghan / Pakistan border.
We are asking for a mininum donation of $5.00 to Sponsor Peace in Afghanistan and help with these logistical expenses. We want this to be affordable so everyone has the opportunity to make a difference.
Checks can be mailed to:
Rapport Afghanistan
P.O. BOX 924
Chanhassen, MN 55317
