BAGHDAD, Aug. 30, 2007 — What do you get when you combine 11 airmen, a swing set and about 60 children? A recipe for success.
Members from the Manas Air Base Top Three Council delivered a swing set to the Umut-Nadjeshda Children's Rehabilitation Center Aug. 20 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
Officials from the U.S. Embassy transported the swing set to the center. The Top Three members also donated several boxes of items collected from the 4th Services Squadron Booster Club from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C.
The children's center is home to children and young adults ranging from ages 2 to 21. Most of them are physically handicapped, mentally disabled, or both.
