Operation Care: US Military personnel help Afghani people
Coalition forces act as good neighbors through donations of clothes, shoes, toys and school suppliesOperation Care is an all-volunteer team of military and civilian personnel in Afghanistan whose purpose is to "act as good neighbors and show that we care by delivering clothes, shoes, toys and school supplies". They provide donations from those in the US to the local community where they are desperately needed. They hope to "influence the younger generation of Afghanistan" since "the children are the future". With your help, Spirit of America will purchase and donate school supplies to Operation Care at the request of Marine and Air Force personnel serving in the region.

Operation Care's Mission
Military personnel describes the needs:
First, thank you for your interest in helping the people of Afghanistan, most importantly the children, the future of this country. Operation Care is continuously looking for school provinces that are most in need.
Please bear in mind that the schools vary in infrastructure. Some are an open tent with no walls and teachers use the ground to draw and teach the children. Some are just buildings with 4 walls, a roof, and no furniture or chalkboard. With that said, any school supply would help the teachers give these children a sense of normalcy. Maps, blow up globes, educational diagrams are good ideas for the classrooms."
