With love and care, the Student Council from Don Juan Avila, with the supervision of Teacher Sue Larwood - an Operation Joining Forces Civilian, attended the Rotary packing party and handed off the beautiful cards for immediate packing and mailing to Afghanistan. To date, they have sent nearly 250 boxes for the holidays to RCT-5 and the 2/4 in Marjah.
