Much gratitude to everyone who continues to make it
possible for UUCPA volunteers to create handmade items
for the Afghans for Afghans social justice project in
which UUCPA participates.  

The next shipment to Afghanistan is at the *end of
April, 2005*:

* Let us know if you can knit or crochet something to
be included in the shipment (a hat, sweater, vest,
mittens, socks, or afghan).  
*  We have yarn that you can use!  
*  We coordinate the dropoff of items, so let us know
if you are going to make an item for the April
shipment.

Since 2001, Afghans for Afghans, with the help of
American Friends Service in SF,  has sent over 27,000
handmade items from the United States and Canada to
warm and bring comfort to the men, women, and children
of Afghanistan.

Our Wish List
-------------
Please consider doing the following:

*  Giving us any 4-ply yarn (a nice reason to clean
out your hobby closet).  Any amount of cotton, wool,
or acrylic yarn is gladly accepted.  (Unfortunately,
we cannot use baby yarn or lightweight novelty yarns.)

*  Donating cash so that we can buy yarn for this
project.

*  Knitting or crocheting for this project.  Donated
yarn, needles, and pattern books are available for
this purpose.  If you'd like to attend a Stitchers'
Cafe where we stitch together at UUCPA, let us know.
