*** From Rita Reynolds:

Dear Ned:

My company AM General (we produce the HUMVEE for the Army) is happy to contribute to the aid of the coffee drinkers…two canisters won't be missed in our office, as I'm not even a coffee drinker…hah!

I am currently working as an executive assistant/office manager in Arlington, VA (our Government Operations Division), but I have lofty dreams of actually putting my Communications' Master Degree from American University to work soon, so in the meantime, I am happy to make even the “distant” acquaintance of a PAO shop.

(BTW: Your weekly e-mails are very entertaining AND informative…thank you for the service you provide, too.)

However, I was even more excited to see your call for assistance for the school children in Kabul.

I have soooo many “extras” and “outgrown” clothes, etc. from my now mostly grown-up children, so I will happy to send some items along to Tom Clementson. My third child, Jamie Reynolds, is a “Cow” at West Point currently, so I don't think he'll be missing those extra pair of basketball shorts any time soon 😉

Take care and keep up the good work…you're a very generous man.

Rita Reynolds

(As noted, we are no longer contributing flavored non-dairy coffee creamer, but have shifted our resources to school supplies for Kabul. Tom’s unit is working with the British Army in supporting schools and orphanages in Afghanistan. Send to Tom’s address above.)

*** We remember:

I hope you found a way to remember and reflect on the tragedy that took place on Sept. 11, 2002. I choose to think about a shipmate who worked with me who was killed in the Naval Command Center when the plane hit. This is the story I tell myself every year. I hope you have something, even one thing, you tell yourself in perpetuity.

*** Causing a stir:

Here’s the latest from Tom Clementson in Afghanistan.

Just posted a batch of photos from today's visit with one of the local schools we're supporting.

(http://www.facebook.com/?messages%2F&action=read&tid=id.155404471201781&mid=4c437e2G236ee2e2G82a11efG0&bcode=wSM0xhtt&n_m=lundquist989%40cs.com#!/media/set/?set=a.2329119156867.2138910.1516353761&type=1)

We took stock of some of the medicine purchased to help them through the winter, offered snacks for some of the kids and handed our crayons and coloring books. Took a few shots of some of the material on the walls. They are learning a little bit of english, in addition to literacy in Pashtu and Dari. One shot of the coloring book pages on the wall gives you an idea of just how useful some of these simple things can be to the kids here.

At the end we had a little time to play on the swings and a couple of the kids showed us their mastery at kite-flying.

Great day out and big thanks to your folks whose paper, pencils, crayons and coloring books have really started to make a difference.

And of course once I got back to base I enjoyed a tall cup of joe with flavored creamer!

Tom

Ned,

Hoping you're OK during the storm. Old Navy guy like you shouldn't have any problem with it.

You see Tom Clementson's shots of his Army unit at the Afghan school at his facebook page? You've done much to help these guys and gals, and I don't know if you can run pics on JOTW, but it might help to reinvigorate the cause.

Thanks for all you do.

A terrific challenge, Captain! My first box (almost 20 pounds of goodies) went out to Kabul last week, and I'll have another one ready today or tomorrow.

Next to donating blood, I can't remember when doing something this easy felt so good.

Knowing the generosity of the JOTW NEDwork, Tom and his partners will probably receive more than they need and be able to spread the wealth elsewhere. Even better!

*** From Bridget Serchak:

Ned,

I'm tapping into your creative mind and vast network on behalf of the Code of Support Foundation's Campaign 99 and asking if you could reach out to your JOTW'ers with an important request to help us spread the word about this organization and its efforts. The COS was started by MG Alan Salisbury, USMA '58 (my dad's West Point classmate), as a way to coalese and coordinate the 99% of Americans who have never served in uniform around the 1% of you who have (thanks for your service, Ned!) By offering all Americans an opportunity to sign the COS pledge, the Foundation is providing a tangible way to give meaning to the words “support our troops”. It's really as simple as that.

Click here to read the Code of Support (the Code of Military Conduct is also on the same page – that is the code all servicemen and women adhere to – as you well know): http://codeofsupport.org/read-the-code

Then click here to sign the Code of Support (you have the option of writing a dedication in honor or in memory of a friend or family member who served or who is currently serving in uniform): http://codeofsupport.org/read-the-code/sign-the-code

A copy of all the pledges collected to date – in person and online – will be delivered to the ADM Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on September 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks against the US.

We are hoping to get 100,000 (or more pledges) by then – and one million pledges (or more) by Memorial Day 2012.

Ned, with the 10,000+ members of JOTW, I figured this was a good group to start with – especially with so many JOTW'ers who are either current or former servicemembers and the rest of us who know and have friends and family who have served or who are serving.

Please check out the Web site http://codeofsupport.org/ for more information regarding the Foundation, the organizations who are already supporters (including the Red Cross, the USO, National Guard, US Chamber of Commerce and a host of veterans groups) of our troops and veterans and the COS – and, very importantly, how to get involved with any of them – and, most imminently, the big kickoff event that gets underway the first week of September: a Patriots & Heroes Pacific to Potomac Relay (outlined in the press release below).

As communicators, JOTW'ers could be of special help to us in the communities along the Relay route (see the map here: http://codeofsupport.org/events/pacific-to-potomac-relay) to help us spread the word about the relay, promote or assist with pledge collection events held along the route, and to alert their media contacts that the Relay is coming through their towns – just like the Olympic torch relay. Just drop a line to volunteers@codeofsupport.org if interested/able to assist with this effort in any way.

Ned, however, much of this email you can/want to put into the next JOTW would be fabulous. The COSF would just appreciate as many JOTW'ers pledges as possible to be a visible part of the Campaign 99 – and really show all of our troops and veterans that we really mean it when we say we support them.

Thanks so much as always. Bridget

*** Causing a stir:

Ned,

We're currently working with U.K. Soldiers here to help an orphange here in Kabul.

Talked to Sgt. Jonny Howells (U.K. Army) about what they need. Right now the team is supporting two orphanages and a school here in Kabul and the best we can do for these kids is pull together clothing, school supplies and toys. A few specifics would include: Soccer balls and simple toys, legal pads / note pads, pens, rulers, crayons – coloring books, baby clothes, t-shirts for kids up to 14yrs…The Brits have done a great job supporting local kids here in Kabul and all in their off time. A few of us newly arrived from the U.S. side decided to join the effort since we're all mostly over the 1776 / 1812 business.

Anyway, really appreciate any of the help you might be able to provide in getting the word out. We don't require a lot from any one person but a little from each goes a long way in helping some kids in Kabul.

*** From Bill Ryerson:

Hi Ned,

We will be starting a new project in Burkina Faso using two radio serial dramas to promote family planning plus spacing and limiting of childbearing. This person will oversee the entire project. We will favor country nationals who apply. Here’s the announcement I sent out about the project last week.

Best wishes,

Bill

1.) Project manager, Population Media Center, Burkina Faso

I am pleased to report that Population Media Center has received funding from UNFPA in Burkina Faso for two 156-episode radio serial dramas for promotion of family planning use. As you’ll see from the data below, a PMC program has the potential to dramatically improve the reproductive health situation in Burkina Faso. One of the programs will be in the Mooré language and one will be in Djoula.

The barriers to use of modern methods of contraception are largely informational and cultural. Among sexually active, fertile women in union, the top reasons for non-use are the desire for more children (18%); personal, partner, or religious opposition (17%); fear of health effects (10%); and not knowing a method or a source (10%). Cost is cited by only 2.5%, and lack of access is cited by only 0.7%.

The annual population growth rate in Burkina Faso is 3.4 per cent, which means that the population is doubling every 20 years. The total fertility rate is the 8th highest in the world at 6.0 children per woman. The majority of the population is young: 46% of the population is under the age of 15. Population growth and population dynamics are important challenges that must be addressed in order to reduce poverty.

Childbearing begins early in Burkina Faso: almost half of all women in union less than 20 years of age have already given birth to at least one living child. The actual fertility rate closely follows the desired family size for women: Married women interviewed during the 2003 Demographic and Health Survey in Burkina Faso said they would like to have about six children on average. Married men would like seven children.

Although knowledge of contraceptive methods in Burkina Faso is high (92% of those interviewed know at least one modern method) only 13% of married women are currently using a modern method of contraception.

“We went to see the ocean, and that is probably the best place of all our coast to go to. If you go by water, you may experience what it is to leave and to approach these shores; you may see the stormy petrel by the way, thalassodroma, running over the sea, and if the weather is but a little thick, may lose sight of the land in mid-passage. I do not know where there is another beach in the Atlantic States, attached to the mainland, so long, and at the same time so straight, and completely uninterrupted by creeks or coves or fresh-water rivers and marshes.”

*** Causing a stir:

Through my colleague Gregg Shields in Dallas comes this appeal for assistance that I think we all can support. Tom Clementson is a senior advisor for public affairs at the ISAF Joint Command in Afghanistan. Like any red-blooded American, he likes his coffee. But due to the remote location, Tom and his colleagues find it hard to find powdered creamer for their coffee. He reports:

It's less of a necessity than a true comfort item but any flavored creamers of the powdered variety. We have the basics here but unlike most of the larger U.S. bases, our NATO base is very Euro. Again, thanks so much. Address is below.

V/R,

Tom

Tom Clementson

KAIA Attn: IJC PAO

APO AE 09320

So, I am asking my fellow “nedworkers” to to grab some non-dairy powdered coffee creamer and package it for shipment to Tom at the above address.

If you don't have any coffee creamer handy, because you are like me and take your Navy coffee straight, then Tom says: “The team will be thrilled and even if people just want to drop a postcard to The IJC Public Affairs Team. We'd be very happy with that.”

Please pass this on to your fellow communication professionals.

Ned Lundquist, ABC

Publisher – JOTW

*** Mike Zimet requests clarification:

Hey Ned…

Our troops deserve the best, even comfort items. But it's not clear from his email — is Gregg looking only for “flavored” creamers or will “regular” do? Let me know — I'll run to Costco and pick up some.

Sipping a midnight cup of powdered creamer and powdered sweetener in my powdered coffee made with powdered water,**

Mike.

**wait a minute, if you want to reconstitute powdered water, what do you mix it with? (best answer wins a bottle of reconstituted powdered water)

(First of all, it's for Tom and his folks…not Gregg who passed the message to me. In turn, I forwarded your comment to Tom on Facebook for clarification.)

Mike: Here’s Tom’s reply:

Flavored is best Ned. We've been able to squeeze AAFES to get some regular in here. As to the other question…I'd suggest mixing it with liquid air.

*** From my “running mate” Mike Smith:

Have sent mine!

MPS

*** From Shannon Reilly:

Awesome idea to send out this address. I'll be making a good shipment!!!

Shannon

*** From Susan Burnell, APR:

Great cause, Ned, and an easy one to support. A box of powdered creamer

packets will be on its way this week (Sam's Club sells boxes of 1000).

Cheers,

Susan

(Susan, Can we put in some hot sauce, too? In case somebody wants really hot coffee? Ned)

Ned

*** From Angela Lapre:

Hi Ned –

This is great, thank you. Assuming Tom will get loads of creamer from this email :), are there any other items he and his team would also like?

Many thanks,

Angela

*** From Ken O’Quinn:

Ned,

Can you clarify the address. It appears to need elaboration before it will

look valid to a postal worker, but maybe I am missing something.

Tom Clementson

KAIA Attn: IJC PAO

APO AE 09320

(That will work. APO means “Army Post Office.”)

*** From Cinda Adams Gaskin:

Hi Ned:

I'm happy to send some non-dairy creamer to our troops. There's a Dollar Store in my neighborhood that has the flavored varieties (for a dollar!).

I'll jump right on this detail. It's the least I can do.

Thanks,

Cinda Adams Gaskin

*** From Elizabeth Corse:

Ned, can they not take liquid creamer in sealed, individual serve packets?

Also, would flavored coffee grounds be of any use?

Elizabeth Corse

*** A JOTW “Thank You” and a follow-up challenge

Thank you for your overwhelming response to our appeal to the JOTW network. We have helped some service men and women in Afghanistan, and that's a wonderful thing. The power of this network has inspired a follow-up challenge and appeal.

– Here's the response I received from Tom Clementson:

Ned,

This thing has really gone viral. I'm more than confident we'll have coffee creamer for a good while but it had me thinking that we might be able to make a real difference beyond comfort items for my team here. We're currently working with U.K. Soldiers here to help an orphange here in Kabul. I'd like to see where they're short in terms of school supplies and toys. Is this an effort that you would help us support? In the grand scheme it just seems petty to ask for something so small for comfort when we can really make an impact on young lives.

Tom

– Ned replies:

I like the idea…So will my network. Any instructions on what you need, want, how it should be packed, marked, etc?

Tom answers:

Ned,

Talked to Sgt. Jonny Howells (U.K. Army) about what they need. Right now the team is supporting two orphanages and a school here in Kabul and the best we can do for these kids is pull together clothing, school supplies and toys. A few specifics would include: Soccer balls and simple toys, legal pads / note pads, pens, rulers, crayons – coloring books, baby clothes, t-shirts for kids up to 14yrs…The Brits have done a great job supporting local kids here in Kabul and all in their off time. A few of us newly arrived from the U.S. side decided to join the effort since we're all mostly over the 1776 / 1812 business.

Anyway, really appreciate any of the help you might be able to provide in getting the word out. We don't require a lot from any one person but a little from each goes a long way in helping some kids in Kabul.

We'll try to get you some pictures next time we're out on a visit.

Tom

– Ned's challenge to the JOTW network:

Please see if you can support this appeal. Send the above requested supplies to:

*** From Jim Brooks:

Ned-

My personal experience with something like this (my niece is a Peace Corps worker in Africa), the requestor should make a very specific request as to what they want. “Toys” is too generic. Would toy guns be welcomed? (They weren't in Africa). Likewise, school supplies should be specific. The more specific the better.

Not sure of the legalities but the could partner with a non profit like Rotary International but CASH works best. Supplies are bought directly from in the country and the benefits multiply throughout the country. This is most evident in Haiti (I've done work with Rotary International there).

(Ned replies: Agreed. We're dealing with some military folks supporting an orphanage/school on their own, not a big NGO effort. So, if it was you over there, what would you want to get so that you could bring it to the school?)

*** From Laura Lueder:

Ned,

Do you know if the clothes and toys need to be new, or can they be

gently used hand-me-downs from our kids?

Laura Lueder

– Tom replies:

Ned,

Gently used is fine. At this point the kids will appreciate the

functionality more than the look. Very good question though.

Good Morning Ned:

Thank you for this opportunity to help our service men and women in

Afghanistan. I'm mailing a box of flavored coffee creamer today and will

follow up with school supplies.

Ned, I admire how you help so many people and make such a difference in so

many lives.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Mikkelsen

*** From Greg Friedmann:

Hi Ed,

Great effort & use of the JOTW network! One thing we learned in sponsoring a child in Haiti is that things like coloring books are best kept to very simple topics– not inadvertently showing a lot of Western opulence that Kabul kids might resent.

i.e., Barbie comics with all of her cars, clothes, mansions, etc.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

Greg Friedmann

*** We're in!

Ned,

We're in! My 9 year-old daughter and her friends have taken this on as a special project. What a wonderful opportunity to have our leaders of tomorrow experience first-hand how just a little bit of time and effort can go a long way in helping others.

We're putting together some care packages and shipping them off to Mr. Tom next week!

Semper Fi!

A JOTW “Thank You” and a follow-up challenge

A JOTW “Thank You” and a follow-up challenge

Thank you for your overwhelming response to our appeal to the JOTW network. We have helped some service men and women in Afghanistan, and that's a wonderful thing. The power of this network has inspired a follow-up challenge and appeal.

– Here's the response I received from Tom Clementson:

Ned,

This thing has really gone viral. I'm more than confident we'll have coffee creamer for a good while but it had me thinking that we might be able to make a real difference beyond comfort items for my team here. We're currently working with U.K. Soldiers here to help an orphange here in Kabul. I'd like to see where they're short in terms of school supplies and toys. Is this an effort that you would help us support? In the grand scheme it just seems petty to ask for something so small for comfort when we can really make an impact on young lives.

Tom

– Ned replies:

I like the idea…So will my network. Any instructions on what you need, want, how it should be packed, marked, etc?

Tom answers:

Ned,

Talked to Sgt. Jonny Howells (U.K. Army) about what they need. Right now the team is supporting two orphanages and a school here in Kabul and the best we can do for these kids is pull together clothing, school supplies and toys. A few specifics would include: Soccer balls and simple toys, legal pads / note pads, pens, rulers, crayons – coloring books, baby clothes, t-shirts for kids up to 14yrs…The Brits have done a great job supporting local kids here in Kabul and all in their off time. A few of us newly arrived from the U.S. side decided to join the effort since we're all mostly over the 1776 / 1812 business.

Anyway, really appreciate any of the help you might be able to provide in getting the word out. We don't require a lot from any one person but a little from each goes a long way in helping some kids in Kabul.

We'll try to get you some pictures next time we're out on a visit.

Tom

– Ned's challenge to the JOTW network:

Please see if you can support this appeal. Send the above requested supplies to:
