Canadian troops in Afghanistan and Eamons collected sports gear!

In 2009, My son Eamon participated in the Who Is Nobody project through his school, John Dryden PS in Whitby, ON.

Letter from Jim Flaherty

Letter from Jim Flaherty

I have attached a newspaper article from the local paper that documents his journey.

He collected 3 hockey bags full of used and new sports equipment donated by local community groups to send to the Canadian troops in Afghanistan. The soldiers were kind enough to forward a photo of them happily testing the equipment and a letter of sincere thanks.

Eamon also received a letter from the Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty, commending him on his efforts.

 

What a wonderful initiative this is! I hope it continues in schools and communities forever! It teaches our children to put others before themselves.

Wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone thought this way, every day?
