On Thursday October 11th, President Bush issued a call to children across America in support of the more than 10 million children in Afghanistan whose lives have been devastated by years of conflict and civil unrest. The American Red Cross will be responsible for both administering the fund and developing relief programs to improve the lives of children and their impoverished families who are mired in an extended humanitarian crisis.
Children who want to contribute to the fund can send their donations to the White House, which has established a special zip code for the program: America's Fund for Afghan Children, c/o The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC, 20509-1600.
