Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 YEAH!! United Aromatherapy Effort is now on FACEBOOK thanks to Geraldine! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=142872041033 I put a pic of our first SOG- Jim when he left the " Spa " (Camp Phoenix) for the first time on dismounted patrol around two sectors of the camp. They are in an industrial area, with some poor villages with mud huts and nasty water in the streets. He described it dirty, trashy, smelly and sad (deformed children, poor conditions); and one from one of his first Humanitarian Assistance Mission to a school to deliver supplies like paper and pencil, notebooks and back packs (they have none). His job is to collect info for the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) and see what could be done better, etc, report back to CALL here, etc. so on missions he is to watch the Security Forces (SECFOR) which is the Afghan army. On this mission they surrounded the village and were too spread out so he watched the children!! He got the first box and said " The minute I opened the package my life changed. My mind felt relieved, I breath deeply. I am healed at the first breath. OMG it works. God in heaven thank you for my healing auntie; she is the medicine woman of our village. She is the one who lifts us up and makes us whole. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! " " later he said: he cant wait for the day to end so he can " get back there for therapy " , and would " like to invite the entire camp in for healing " - he is sharing with the Outreach group that arranges the Humanitarian Assistance first, will keep us posted, but for now he says he can BREATHE!! Will put some more pics up as I can- cannot figure out how to do them on the site, but the facebook works good for that. One day will figure out the website! (Before anyone offers ideas, it was an original donation, it is hosted on my AIA site and my sweet webmaster took it over and revamped for pics and stuff, but now I have to manage alone, it is in php, and originally I could use sausage/hotdog software to make minor changes and keep up to date. couple of years ago I lost the webmaster donation and the program for working on-hotdog went out of business. I dont (yet) have the know how so I use moredits.com to make changes but it wont let me put a pic on the homepage, and other things..... This is one large area we could use some help in if anyone wishes to donate some skills to help with the site :-) so now everyone can join or link or whatever you would like to do!! YEAH feel like we are getting out there. Soon as I get feedback from the first shipment we will put out a call for more of what they like thanks for your support!!
