CSI Level Three
With the Melina and Eddie project submission periods over, it’s time to fire up a new round of fan projects. Gotta make sure everyone feels the love. This project for Gary is an excellent one and is feenx’s brainchild. I am simply starting the thread in accordance with our policy that only CSI:NY mods start project threads. This is feenx’s baby though, so please direct all questions and comments to her.
Most of you know that Gary co-founded a fantastic charity -- Operation Iraqi Children. You can read more about it at www.operationiraqichildren.org. His charity enables people to assist American troops in establishing decent schools for Iraqi children. Their conditions are horrible and they lack the basic educational supplies most of us take for granted.
The best way to show support for Gary is to support his charity. Sure, some of you may want to jump him (God knows why -- surely he’s as old as your dads :lol
, but given the point in life he’s at, any sort of, “Hey, you’re still pretty hot for an old dude”-type project probably wouldn’t mean a whole lot to him. What would mean something to him is to support a cause that’s important enough to him that he would take steps to effect change.
How can you help? You can send school supply kits to feenx. She will gather together all the kits she receives and ship them to Operation Iraqi Children as one big CSI Files school kit drive. The way that works is that she will ship them to Kansas City and then Operation Iraqi Children has an alliance with FedEx and People to People International that covers the international shipping.
The contents of each school kit must be exactly as specified by Operation Iraqi Children and cannot contain additional items. You can certainly feel free to send as many kits as you can, but each kit needs to contain exactly what is one this list:
* One pair of blunt end scissors
* One 12-inch ruler with metric markings
* 12 new pencils with erasers
* One small pencil sharpener
* One large eraser
* One box of colored pencils (crayons melt in the Iraqi heat)
* One package of notebook paper
* One composition book
* Three folders with inside pockets
* One zippered pencil bag
While it may look like there are a lot of items on this list, these are all inexpensive items that you can often find on sale. If you want Iraqi children to grow up with any hope of being well-educated enough to wile away their days on the internet discussing how hot their favorite actor is, as so many of you do, please help them learn to read and write.
You may be thinking this is fine and well, but how will Gary even know about this project or know you’re supporting him? When you send your school kits to feenx, please include a card for Gary. Tell him you’re such a huge fan of his work that you’re supporting his charity or that you absolutely adore him or whatever you want. Feenx will gather the cards together into a scrapbook and send it to Gary.
To send feenx your school kits and cards for Gary, please PM her for her address.
The deadline to submit these items is December 22nd. You can send one kit; you can send 100 kits. Send however many you are able to. Please participate on any level.
This is not about whether you support the war in Iraq or what you think of American soldiers in Iraq. This is a nonpartisan way to support one of your favorite actors by supporting a cause important to him. It’s always so inspiring to see a celebrity put their good fortune and exposure to use in a positive manner. The guy could be sitting at home counting his cash, but he’s not. He’s an advocate for something he believes in and if you believe in him, please help.
