Our on-line community of Canadian homeschooling parents
decided we wanted to do *something* for people in Afghanistan. We made
a Why We Homeschool Quilt two years ago, which we now mail back and forth
across the country to use at various homeschool events. It seemed the
right thing to now make a quilt on the theme of Women & Peace, and
then raffle it off and send the proceeds to RAWA (Revolutionary Association
of the Women of Afghanistan) for them to use in their work educating girls
and women both in Afghanistan and in Afghani refugee camps. To buy a raffle
ticket, or print tickets to sell to friends, family and fellow humans,
click on the raffle button, print out a bunch of tickets, sell them and
send the filled in tickets and a cheque to:
Quilt 4 Afghanistan #15 119 Croft st. Victoria B.C. v8v2e7
If you would like to buy tickets on-line using PayPal (http://www.paypal.com),
you can send an email with your name , address and phone number to hs_ca_quilt@yahoo.com
(we'll fill in a hard copy ticket for you to enter the draw) or you can
print and mail a filled in ticket to the the snailmail address above (with
either a printed copy of your PayPal payment, or a cheque or money order
made out to Quilt 4 Afghanistan)
To see the individual quilt pieces, click on the small ones and they will
come up bigger, along with the quilter's musings on their work.
