U.S. service members in Djibouti display travel kits donated by The Paradies Shops at RDU.[/caption]
Good News From Djibouti
A few weeks ago, The Paradies Shops at RDU, which operates a number of the retail shops in Terminal 2, donated more than 460 travel kits, purchased by RDU travelers to the USO of N.C. RDU Center.
Those kits made their way to U.S. troops in the African nation of Djibouti. The troops there shared the kits with villagers in that nation as part of their assistance mission.
Where to purchase kits: CNBC (Terminal 2, Gate D3); OTC Drugs & More (Terminal 2, Ticketing); University Kids/University Marketplace (Terminal 2, Gate C17)
