Operation International Children

Operation International Children is a grass-roots program founded in early 2004 by actor Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, CSI: NY) and author Laura Hillenbrand (Seabiscuit: An American Legend). Sinise and Hillenbrand created OIC to give concerned Americans a way to reach out to war-stricken Iraqi children and support American troops in their efforts to assist them.

OIC has delivered school supply kits, toys, Arabic-language books, shoes, blankets, backpacks and sets of sports equipment, to Iraqi and Afghan children by our troops. In the future, OIC hopes to expand efforts across the word.
