Via a Facebook friend, a message from a doctor serving in Afghanistan:

A request for support from a doctor serving in Kandahar Hospital, Afghanistan, who tells of some of the awful injuries suffered by many children as a result of the fighting. He has asked if people could parcel together a few toys, colouring books, toy cars, soft toys (but not dogs), and post to him: 5766271 Captain A J Stubbs, UK-JF Med Gp, Op Herrick 10b, BFPO772. NB: a parcel up to 2kg is free to post to a BFPO address.
