Positivity: Dylan de Silva and Cape Cod for Our Troops
Dylan de Silva is 13 years old, and started running “Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops” when he was 12 (HT Pundit Review, who interviewed Dylan Sunday night on their Boston-based WRKO and Internet-broadcast radio program; Update — interview audio is here). Its mission and description is on its home page:
Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops is a non-profit organization started by 12 year old Dylan DeSilva. Dylan wanted to find a way to honor our soldiers for their service, dedication and sacrifices to our country. With the help of his family and friends he sends care packages to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan on a weekly basis.
Dylan’s organization has made substantial contributions in the form of “care packages” of personal items, food, and other useful items (scroll down to the bottom of the home page to see the details.
His work has been rewarded with substantial appreciation and commendations from our troops overseas (you may need to scroll down at the link a bit before you see the first quote; the formal commendations begin after the quotes).
Go there. In appreciation of what he’s doing, consider dropping him a line.
