Letter to the Editor: Cards of Condolences for Peshawar Campaign From South Brunswick Family

To the Editor:

My two teenaged daughters and I wanted to express our sympathies for the lives that were lost on December 16, 2014 in the Peshawar, Pakistan Massacre.

With the support of friends and family we came up with the “Cards of Condolences for Peshawar,” a letter writing and card making campaign for the victims~the children, staff and families of the Army Public School who have been affected by this horrific tragedy.

We would like to encourage the youth of all ages and adults to make cards and write letters for the victims to show that they are in our thoughts and prayers and that love and kindness will always prevail.

We are requesting that cards and letters be dropped off or sent to Taste of Punjab, located at 4437 Route 27 in Princeton, New Jersey, 08540.

Taste of Punjab is located in the Kingston Mall, and open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for drop off. All items need to be received by Monday, January 5, so they can be mailed to a contact in Peshawar with a personal connection to the school officials. (Update: the deadline has been extended to Monday, January 12.)

We would like to send as many cards as possible so everyone’s help is needed.

A special thank you to my sister Farah Naz-Ahmed Berent, Rabeeha Khan, Zubia Naji and Jawad Younus for your support.
