How to request materials:
Project Handclasp uses empty cargo space on U.S. Navy ships to transport humanitarian, good-will and educational materials to Navy ports of call. The materials are donated by a wide variety of sources and the contents are unpredictable. Navy ships will off-load these materials wherever they are needed and customs practices allow. Recipients are chosen by the Defence Attachés at U.S. embassies. Visit your local U.S. embassy to find out if they participate in Project Handclasp and ask to be put on a recipient list.
