WE GOT THE ADDRESS!!!!
Good News!
We have the address and a GREAT contact over in Afghanistan. His name is Rob (a Major in the US Air Force) and unknowingly to us has already started a school supply collection over there. The timing is great, and now we can all collaborate together to make great things happen!
Here is the address that all Kits will be sent to. Again, you can fit about 7 kits in the large flat-rate boxes at the post office and they will give you a discounted price ($11 and some change) since it is going overseas.
Rob Grover
AEAG - KAIA,
APO, AE 09354
3 Ways to Get Involved!
#1- Send any school supplies that you can to the address above...these children would appreciate and utilize any supplies you are able to donate to them.
#2-MAKE SOME KITS! Here's what to put inside each one...
-Spiral notebook
-box of crayons
-5 pencils WITH a pencil sharpender OR 5 mechanical pencils
-eraser
-small toy
-small snack (box of raisins, fruit snack, etc)
-big ziplock baggie to put all the stuff in
#3- Donate money for supplies to be purchased and kits to be made. If you are interested in this option please email me at operationkitsforkids@gmail.com
I would like to give a big THANKS again to Rob...we SO HAPPY to start working with him, and with all of us working together we can truly make a difference in the lives of the Afghan children :)

A Great Way to Donate
I have had some inquiries over the past few days about people wanting to make donations by paying for a certain number of 'kits' to be made. I averaged everything out that I have bought so far, and each kit costs $3. That includes all 7 elements listed below & .60 cents toward shipping (7 per box and each large flat rate box ships for just under $12).
SO. If you would like to help our cause BUT don't have the time to put the packages together yourself...you can just send us a donation and we will make the corresponding number of kits for you :)
Please email me at operationkitsforkids@gmail.com if you are interested in donating

Just to keep everyone posted...
We are still figuring out the details over in Afghanistan, but hopefully within the next week we'll get an address and an official 'contact'. From that point we'll send our first round of packages over and go from there :)
We are VERY excited because the support for this cause, so far, has been great! Thank you all SOOOO much and check back every few days for updated information!
