Gazing at the Flag: Help Our Soldiers Help Afghan Children

This image is from Gazing at the Flag and tells the story of Todd Larkin who wants us to Help our soldiers help Afghan children one pair of shoes, one pair of mittens, and a cap at a time!

Meet Todd Larkin... Todd is a soldier serving in Afghanistan. He is also a humanitarian and my hero for the projects he undertakes for the Afghan children. He needs our help with these projects.

He is trying to get shoes, mittens, caps, coats and sweaters and other warm clothing to hand out to the children of Afghanistan - warm clothes for those without in the grip of winter. The clothes don't need to be new, but they do need to be clean. Toys are good, too!!!
If you can help him with his projects, please send to:

When People Work Together

There is really nothing that can't be accomplished when people work together. Here is a a highly viewed video at You Tube. It is a great feel good story about turning a school around and getting business involved in the lives of kids. I particularly like the tutoring aspect. It is something that anyone can do. I mean if you can read, help someone who can't.
