Why is this Soldier Smiling?
He's smiling because he received a package from home which let him know that someone in Canada was thinking of him. While he was in Afghanistan Matt received lots of packages from friends and family. Many of the others were not so lucky and when mail arrived there wouldn't be anythng for them. (Soldiers who receive packages from home often share their contents with the others).
We would like to continue to send packages to Afghanistan to help our young soldiers keep up their morale. If you would like to help please drop off books, magazines, DVDs, non perishable food such as chips, and hard candies... at Harmoni and we will make sure that they are sent.
Many young Canadian men and women will spend their first Christmas away from home in a hostile land. This is an opportunity to let them know that we are thinking of them.
Please call us if you have any questions about what to send.
