MOSUL, Iraq – Teachers and students of the Alabed Middle School in the Palestine neighborhood of Mosul gratefully accepted donated school supplies from the local Iraqi Police Feb. 15.

The Iraqi Police, along with Coalition Forces, participated in Operation Iraqi Children, bringing much needed school supplies to children.

Maj. Fallah, police station chief, Southeast 6, and his policemen took time out from their daily routines to present the supplies to the children of the community they serve.

Smiles and laughter from the police and school children could be both seen and heard as the supplies were handed out.

“This is one of the largest supply operations that has been put together to support school children,” said Maj. Roy A. Outcelt, team leader, 401st Civil Affairs Team Alpha, who accompanied the Iraqi Police.

The school, which served as an election site for the December elections, houses over 400 girls ranging in age from 7-12 years old.

The supplies were provided by Operation Iraqi Children. The individual bags were put together consisting of pencils, erasers, folders, rulers and a few other items to help the schoolgirls with their studies.

In the last year, Operation Iraqi Children provided supplies for over 200,000 Iraqi children.
