Do you have a contact at Kabul that would be willing to pass out some sweaters, socks, to needy teenagers?
So very many people send candy and toys for the soldiers to pass out to needy children, which is wonderful, but the greater need right now (single-digit temperatures, and did you notice above the "housing" situation???) is warmth: sweaters, gloves, hats, shoes. I'll post some shoe pictures from dh.
Makes you glad for your nice warm bed, eh what?
