Thank you to the Sayreville schools for making this a huge success. We have divided them up between several military locations. Below is my note to MAJ Stewart in Iraq informing him of the coming shipment. Hello MAJ Stewart, I wanted to let you know that 25 boxes of stuffed toys have been shipped to your location on Thursday, Dec. 9th. I really hope the children enjoy the toys and the soldiers enjoy giving them out. May you all be filled with Love by the gift of giving and put a smile on a poor child's face. May your hearts be warm as you spread the spirit of Love to the children of the world. We care for you all deeply and pray for peace and for your safe return. Our children here have been very touched by this project as they handpicked toys to give to you for the children. We are glad for all the support from you, our soldiers and our community. We hope everything goes well and it builds a bridge of Peace. Please send us photos if you can so we can post them on our website. We have some more boxes that we will get out as soon as possible. If other communities take on this project, we hope to send you even more. :) May God Bless you and keep you safe. Know that our hearts are with you during this Holy season. Much Love and Peace, Diane Eleftheriades President Bridges of Peace, A NJ Nonprofit Corp. Reply from MAJ Stewart.... Good morning Diane, I will request photos- which will be forwarded to you.

I know where Sayreville is, as I live across the river, in Yonkers, and work at the Bronx Supreme Court. Most of the boxes arrived before Christmas, but I wasn't able to distribute all of the stuffed animals before Santa visited Baghdad (yes, I did see Santa, and he speaks Arabic). We aim to please!
