I found this really nifty website & blog run by Tom Tomorrow, one of my favorite cartoonists. It's at http://www.thismodernworld.com. Apart from the really great comics, he writes up daily posts. Check out the posts for May 12. There's a request from a man who's an Army public affairs specialist in Afghanistan, asking for people to donate pens. Apparently a pen is one item most children there desperately need, and these types of school supplies are pretty difficult for them to get. The pens can be any kind, and the address to send them to is in the request.
I think I'm going to send him some, especially since you can get a box of a dozen for less than a dollar at Office Depot. It's something small, but nevertheless helpful to do.
