First Grade Teacher Agija Van Derweil at the Albany International Academy for New Refugee Children wants to thank you, directory, for sending a lot of snacks—probably enough to go through summer break—to the school yesterday and today (above). I want to thank you also. It was another blow for good.

This is turning out to be a good year for good. No matter what they do outside of us, nobody can stop what’s inside us – this generosity and love.

“I wanted to reach out to you personally and thank you so much for the incredible generosity you and your community have shown our students. Many people take for granted having a snack. For my students, having a snack before they go home for the day is a part of their predictable, nurturing, much-needed routine. It goes way beyond meeting basic needs and shows them that people care. Again, thank you very much,” wrote Teacher Derweil.

This was done in one day, but it took a few days. I can’t thank you enough. I want to persuade the school to start an Amazon Wish List for some desperately needed and modest school supplies.

Van Derweil is very welcome.  I hope to keep working with the teachers to help these students in any way possible. This is just the start, a Perfect Mission for the Army Of Good. Thank you.
