Thanks Mom for volunteering to get me the robe and slippers! I could not imagine walking through snow in flip flops and sweats after taking a shower!!!
I have an additional request, this time not for myself, for those of you with kids in school... Evidently, Afghans love postcards! I think it would be nice if those with kids in school (or anyone) might be able to work something out through the school to collect postcards from the student body with notes written on them for the Afghan children and then send them to me (in a package, not individually please) and I will make sure they get to the people who work with the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and therefore to the children of Afghanistan. I am hoping to even be able to deliver some personally!!! I think this would really be nice!! Please just make sure the postcards are in good taste (no bikinis or buff guys or tasteless jokes etc) and please no religious buildings (they are Muslim and very sensitive religious things). Postcards with pictures of buildings (non religious), monuments, mountains, scenery etc would be perfect!!! Thanks in advance!!!!

Jason -- I will send this blog on to all the teachers I know. Hopefully, you'll get a lot of postcards. When we're so blessed it's hard sometimes to think that something as simple as a postcard can bring such great happiness to a school child in another part of the world. Also, the salesman at Kohl's just laughed and said to check back in a month or so for your robe and slippers so, hopefully, you won't need them before then! Stay safe -- Love Ya, Mom
I will talk to the teachers at the school here. We may be able to get a lot of postcards. Do you want anything written on the backs of them, or would it be better if they were blamk?
Thanks for the interest in this! I think it is a neat way for anyone to reach out to the less fortunate children of Afghanistan. By all means, please have the kids write a note to the Afghan children on the postcard. Also, if anyone would like to send coloring books and crayons or something like that, I am sure the kids would love that too.
