We are looking for a volunteer Webmaven to join our charitable project, afghans for Afghans. afghans for Afghans is a humanitarian and educational people-to-people project that sends hand-knit and crocheted wool blankets, hats, mittens, socks, sweaters, and vests to the beleaguered people of Afghanistan. afghans for Afghans encourages cross-cultural understanding and social action by actively involving Americans and Canadians in making practical and unique gifts for Afghan families. We document Afghan-theme knitting patterns to promote Afghanistan's artistic legacy and to develop a more reciprocal relationship with Afghan women. We work in partnership with the SF office of the American Friends Service Committee and other agencies to accomplish our efforts. afghans for Afghans was founded in late 2001 in response to events that followed 9/11. Read more about the program, including press links, on our site -- http://www.afghansforAfghans.org.

Mission Statement
afghans for Afghans is a humanitarian and educational people-to-people project that is sending hand-knit and crocheted blankets to the beleaguered people of Afghanistan.
Description
Americans are making ... afghans for Afghans! Please join us. Knit or crochet a handmade blanket for an Afghan refugee. This grassroots effort is inspired by those Red Cross volunteers who made afghans, socks, slippers, and other garments for soldiers and refugees during World Wars I and II and at other times of crisis and need. Your gift of a handmade blanket will bring comfort and warmth to Afghan women, men, and children who continue to suffer from oppression, war, hunger, poverty, and sickness. Your lovingly made afghan will send a message of concern and hope to our fellow humans on the other side of the globe. This project is an excellent activity for community and youth groups, too. Each individual makes a square, then sew the squares into one blanket. Visit http://www.afghansforAfghans.org/blanket.html for details on getting started, plus free patterns and shipping address. The Agape Foundation is our fiscal sponsor.
