I am 11-years-old and tell them to enjoy,” read the hand-written note sent by a Michigan youth. The letter came with three boxes of stuffed animals sent to the Kunar Provincial Reconstruction Team at Forward Operating Base Wright in eastern Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, to be donated to local children.

    The young girl decided to donate what she had to those less fortunate and sent the toys to the PRT through the Troop Scoop program, which also included a man’s childhood collection of stuffed animals.
