Gifts for the Children of Afghanistan

In this story we see how two people have made a difference for 1000+ kids. Vicky and Brian Sutton are friends with Major Anthony Boyda who has been serving his tour in Afghanistan. Major Boyda forwarded a message from Major Walter Woodring explaining to the Suttons that the kids in Afghanistan need school supplies.

The Suttons ran out and purchased enough notebooks, pens, and pencils for 1000 kids. They also threw in some candy, toys and kazoos for kids to play with (thinking every kid deserves to have a treatof some kind). They sent this parcel off and then turned to others in the community to do the same.

The Suttons sent of forty-one boxes to Afghanistan in time for Christmas, and American soldiers distributed the gifts.


You can also help out. Here's how:
-------------------------------------------------------------

Into one 10x13" plastic zip-lock bag please put:

one 9x12 spiral notebook, one pen, two pencils, a small toy and a hard candy (i.e. Jolly Rancher, Lifesavers) Chocolate melts. Please do not send chocolate. Then put them in a box or padded bag.

Would you like to do one MORE nice thing? Before sealing and mailing your bag or box, how about adding some VALENTINES for U.S. soldiers? Plain or fancy, it doesn't matter. Just send them with love.

Then seal and mail to:

Major Sean Gustafson, 207th RCAG West, HERAT, AFGHANISTAN, APO AE 09354

(same cost as mailing in the U.S.)

Thanks in advance if you can send even just one package out.
