Peace Through PuppetsGAPT is happy to announce our support of Peace Through Puppets, a program started by U.S. Army Soldier - First Sergeant Bruce L. Reges - stationed near Baghdad, Iraq, in an effort to comfort small children affected by the war. First Sergeant Reges wrote to his mother asking her to make 2 small puppets for his slash pockets, she sent a shipment of small animal puppets which were then distributed among civilian children by Medical Personnel and Civil Affairs Soldiers. The effort was so effective it sparked a humanitarian movement that has grown to be a non-profit 501-C3 organization supplying small animal puppets to Iraq and Afghanistan. The organization describes itself as: “Peace Through Puppets is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping U.S. Civil Affairs Soldiers & Medical Teams, stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, use puppets to communicate with children affected by the war. To extend humanitarian compassion through the medium of puppets that overcomes the barriers of language and trauma. Let there be peace on earth - one puppet at a time.” When you visit GAPT you can buy a puppet to donate to this program at a 25% discount! Members, you will be able to include your 10% discount on top of this! We’d like to send one large box a month, so encourage your family to take part in this worthwhile program. GAPT will ship all donated puppets to First Sergeant Reges for distribution in Iraq along with photos of the kids here who took the time to take part in this wonderful program.
