Sometime ago I proposed the 'Belgian Candy' initiative whereby you could buy Belgian chocolate and waffles from me for a modest price.
One of our members (who will remain anonymous for now) PMed me to say that if I sent a box to a member stationed in Iraq, he'd double the amount so that I could send 2 boxes.

JMS and I talked about setting up something like that on a bigger scale, and now the time is ripe. Here is how it will work.

I will buy typical Belgian candy and ship it to Iraq or Afghanistan. JMS is taking care of the shipping addresses.
If you would like to make a donation for this cause, send a PM to JMS. He will keep track of the people wanting to help. We don't know in advance how much interest there will be so to avoid a possible torrent of money to my paypal account (I don't trust them), you will get a PM when it is time to send money. You choose the amount yourself.
doing it like this gives us some control over what will happen and when it happens.

I will convert all money to candy (regardless of how much it is) and ship it.

If you have any questions about this initiative, post them here and JMS or I will try to answer them.

EDIT: Everything will be done at cost.
