Her goal was to send off 24 packages. Her birthday invitation requested that kids bring outreach items instead of birthday presents. She also contacted family, friends and neighbors to try to collect as many items as possible.

On April 25, Lani and 9 of her friends gathered in her basement. The kids wrote notes, decorated envelopes and stuffed packages containing many goodies.

At the end of the day the kids assembled 64 packages!It was a wonderful experience for the kids and will bring much joy to the soldiers who receive them!

Happy Birthday Lani!

As this 9 year old can show us ... with just a little effort big things can happen!
It's child's play!
