DARREN BERG WITH SOME OF HIS LITTLE BUDDIES IN AFGHANISTAN
On behalf of my fellow Canadian Soldiers and children of Afghanistan, I would like to thank all the players, their families, coaches and referees of Richmond Girls Ice Hockey for your very generous contributions. Your photos, cards and letters of support mean alot to us all. While out on foot patrols, we have been handing out pens, note books, toys and candy to the kids, who flock around us like we're handing out million dollar bills! The smiles your donations put on the faces of these young, underpriviledged kids is heartwarming. But the Afghan children aren't the only ones smiling lately! The troops have also been very satisfield and content indulging in all the snacks and homemade cookies you have sent us....a nice taste of home.
Our mission in Afghanistan is to improve the lifestyle of an unfortunate nation, and with the support and encouragement from thoughtful folks like yourselves, we hope to make it happen.
Thanks again to all of you at RGIH from all of us in Afghanistan.
Sincerely,
Darren Berg
