Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas –
A small paper cutout named Flat Stanley traveled the world with Staff Sgt. Candice Landsaw, 433rd Force Support Squadron system administrator, during her recent deployment to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.
The Flat Stanley project is a modern day pen-pal program that allows students from around the world to interact with each other. Flat Stanley is mailed or emailed to other classrooms and those students document his journey through photos with the participating class.
The second grade class at Buckner Fanning School at Mission Springs asked Landsaw if she would participate in the program.
"Stanley traveled with me to Qatar, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, so today's presentation is showing the photos I took," said Landsaw, "I know many schools take part in this program because I posted a photo on Facebook of Flat Stanley and everyone knew who he was."
