Another unabashed family plug...

My cousin Nick and my Aunt Camilla frequently travel to Afghanistan to do teacher training, help to improve education, and provide school supplies to the war-torn country. They are there right now and will be for about 5 more days. They have a great site: http://classroomsacrosscultures.wikidot.com/gifts where you can go to purchase items from Afghanistan such as scarves, hats, coins, or spices and they will bring them back for you. It will help provide them with some much needed monetary support as well as support the local economy! Go buy something, but do it quickly since I was unfortunately negligent in getting this up sooner!
