My 8 year old son, Tristen, has a class project that I was wondering if you could help me with...
Let me explain:

His 2nd grade teacher put a black and white map of the country up on the wall, and told them that they were to talk to their family and friends and see if they would be kind enough to send a post card from where ever they live in the country. As the post cards come in, they get to color in the state where the cards come from. If that wasn't a big enough project, the teacher decised to up the anty and replaces the country map with a map of the world! My son asked me how he was going to contact people in different countries to ask them if they would send in a post card, when we don't know anyone in different countries. He asked if we could just pick up the phone and dial some numbers and ask whoever answers the phone if they would help?? ( I am still chuckling over that) I told him I would help him however I could...I thought about it for a while, and I posted a message on the Linux Mandrake Message board, and thought that I might post a message here as well. No need to worry about duplicates the more the merrier!!
So if any of you are interested in helping out.....or know anyone who might be interested, please pass this along..to anyone, anywhere, in the world.

Here is the address to send the post card to: ( TC is my son's initials)

TC C/O
Mrs. Smith's 2nd Grade Class
Lincoln Elementary School
746 North Maple Grove
Hudson, MI 49247


Thank you very much!!

Would a Bourbon St. postcard do?

I will see if I can find any nice New Orleans post cards and send one your way.

By the way, what is the deadline?

 

I can send him one from the Great White North....eh...

 

Thank you!!

The dead line is June 3rd..when School is out..

I really appreciate the help!!
I think it would be pretty special for him to see the many, many cards that could show up from people all over the world who just do nice things for someone else. I try to teach that to my kids, every time I have stopped and changed a tire for someone, or pulled someone out of the ditch, I have never accepted any money...I want the kids to see that it's ok to do something for a thank you....and that if you ask for help, there are many, many people who will respond...

Thanks Again!!

I'm glad you mentioned that...how much are you paying us?

Just kidding. That is great. Even though I don't have children yet, I do the same things. Not many people to pull out of ditches (wish there were!), but I have helped quite a few people out. Feels really nice to help someone else out.

 

How bout' driving the CTD to all 48 and the CAnuk Providences and mail one from each.... Then you could head south of the border, are you 4wd.... ok well, suppose not, just a thought

 

I might actually think about that, but the cost of postage would kill me...

 

I gave the details to my girlfriend and she said she will send one out from SW Florida.

Thank You..
I really think my son is going top be impressed with the response!!

 

One will be on its way from Bama tomorrow.

I put your message on a British board that has input from Europe and down to Egypt. Have no idea if it will be of interest to them, but it is a try. They are a nice bunch of parrot lovers. You think CTD lovers are screwballs, the bird lovers are worse

 

You beat me to it, don't have a card here will have to pick one up tomorrow.... Then if the mail lady can get her donkey moving in the rain, It'll be in the mail...

 

If I get lunch tomorrow... there will be one from WA.

 

Oh yea, I'll ask my ex to send one too. She's in MI as well, but she's in the UP so that's a big enough difference. lol

 

I'll try and get one from the great state of TEXAS tomorrow.
