10E Dav s Standard Thursday May 27 1999 Building candy brigade n Program spreading smiles across nation refugee camps South Ogden orthodontist chooses first participant Autoliv employees reach out to children in German By TANNA BARRY naniinef Cufrebponoent - A simple for candy from a m Germany into a week and a hall long project for a group of workers at Autoliv After receiving a letter from her son Val Warner Autoliv employee Dianna Price was so touched that she decided to share it with her Warner wrote about the conditions he lound in refugee camps for those 1 ugoslavia and fleeing war-tor- n he told his mother that he and his L DS mission companion ride bicycles an hour and a half each way to bring candy to children in a refugee camp " I he kids over there think he’s a celebrity because he brings them candy" Price said Warner asked his mother to send him candy so that he could continue to do this “1 sent him a pack of the day I received the letter" Price said But for Dianna McClintock that wasn’t enough "He only asked his mom to send some candy but there are a lot of kids” McClintock said "Besides 1 thought it would be nice to help out” Warner’s letter also talked about the dillerent people m the camps One woman in the camp was a manager in Iran one week and the nest week she didn’t even have a toothbrush "It touched me" McClintock said "I was going very small scale at first but when I realized that people felt the same way I did I thought we could do N OGDl star-burs- ts more" The group did a lot more by collecting many items including n toothbrushes 24 boxes of shampooconditioner and $ 50 to buy candy for the children McClintock started by calling 1 the otTice said "If we can make a little bit of difference we are glad to do it" “Everyone is doing a little bit to make a lot" said Tern Hess Hoehn’s sister and the manager of Mastercuts in the Newgate Mall Hess collected shampoo and conditioner to donate to the project from all six stores in the state of Utah “I think that it’s a good idea to help people when they need help like this” Hess said "It makes me feel good to be able to help somebody out” To some people the idea of sending candy and other items doesn’t seem very logical but McClintock and her said they felt like this is what the children needed "1 think they need the necessities in life and it seems like a lot of groups are taking care of that but it seems like they would miss candy and gum too” Roundy said McClintock added "It’s all the little things that people don’t really think about (that the peo- some people in her ward to help her by gathering things to send Price’s son "I was imagining how the kids would react when the missionaries go there" McClintock said "I pictured the smiles on the kids’ faces and it made me feel good" The next day McClintock realized that other people were interested n McClintock then went to Roundy a Human Resource representative at Autoliv to get more of the company inMa-dely- volved "Madelyn got the whole ball rolling" McClintock said evRoundy w as able to ery division in the company and inform them w hat was going on Since some areas don’t receive she also made envelopes to collect donations Then Roundy was able to get authorization to have the company pay for shipping for all the materials collected and purchased Initially they planned on just getting candy for the children but soon the project became larger Through word of mouth businesses and friends of the workers at Autoliv were involved The workers gathered toothbrushes toothpaste candy shampoo conditioner and many other items to send to Warner and his companion Mark Fisher "The children are the biggest focus" McClintock said But Roundy feels that projects like this not only help the people receiving the items but also the people sending them "It helps people appreciate what they have” Roundy said and Curtis Hoehn participant in the project said "It’s made me take a bigger look at the way we live and the things ple miss)" The group said many organizations are sending blankets food personal hygiene items and clothes so they wanted to do something different And they wanted to respond to Wamer’s letter by helping him help the children Hoehn also talked about the need for more people to be involved in projects like this “This is at the top of the media’s list right now because of everything that’s going on but things like this project shouldn't stop” Hoehn said about the refugees from Kosovo “There’s always people that need help" Hoehn said that this project isn’t the end for him He plans on helping out in any way he can whenever the opportunity comes felt up Many of his the same way Hess added: "There are always people willing to help" er we take for granted” Hoehn was so excited about the project that he told his dentist about it and called his sister to get involved His dentist at Gary Hoopes Dentist Office donated By DIANA BAHT1SHI Standard- Examiner corespondent A
