I got my soldier today!! I was super excited. I sent her an email right away (I had to think about it for a bit) and I plan to send a lot more snail mail letters. I've learned all about sending packages through USPS. I've recruited my whole family and some of my friends to help me make care packages for this soldier. I'm so excited. The things she needs are very basic - underwear, toiletries, normal people food. I hope to send her some lotions and candy as well, and maybe a little gift if I can pull it off.
This is positive deviance because I am essentially (planning on) sending a box full of goodies to a random stranger. She deserves it, though. That much is certain. I haven't even done anything yet and I already feel the warm fuzzies! :)
Good for you, thats great that you can get your whole family involved, and help out our soldier's, they all can use the help, and know that they are cared for.
ReplyDeleteI have an old student who would love care packages, who can I talk to about it?
