Below are two messages we recently received from American soldiers in Afghanistan. Our volunteers have already sent rice and other items to the Battalion Chaplain, and additional shipments will be made.

I have a special request from a local school teacher. He tells me that some of his Afghan students have to choose between school and work because they have no money and little food. His request is to give them
rice so they can eat more and healthier. Many days all they eat is bread and an onion.
I have helped these children with shoes and some warm clothing for the winter, but now they are in need of the rice.
If you are so inclined I humbly present this request for help.
Giving them food helps win this war by showing a sharp contrast between Americans and Taliban - who threaten and intimidate and take from them.
Thank you for listening.
