United Through Reading® Military Program Reading Together Unites Families RCB South Florida is assisting David Hammerschmidt, stationed in Afghanistan, with his project United Through Reading. The United Through Reading® Military Program helps ease the stress of separation for military families by having deployed parents read children’s books aloud via DVD for their child to watch at home. On his third tour of duty in the Middle East, David leads a team of over 80 paratroopers. In addition to leading his company and training the Afghan army, David has made United Through Reading® a priority so that deployed moms and dads stay connected to their families back home. As the father of three, David knows the value of this program. David is in need of children's books for infants through teens, mini DVD-R's, jewel cases and mailers (8 X 11" padded). After the United through Reading® program is complete, all children's books will be donated to orphanages in Afghanistan. Please click here for details on how you can participate. If your organization would like to partner with RCB South Florida, please e- mail maggie_macaulay@msn.com |
