Overall Experience 
People to people support in a time of war
|
Volunteering for afghans for Afghans in the Bay Area is made even more rewarding because our work facilitates volunteers from all over the US and Canada. I visualize individual and groups of knitters making garments and blankets to share with PEOPLE in a country far away, whose only other experience with North Americans relates to war and terrifying situations. We all are making strong statements, different from Madame LaFarge, taking a stand for a people to people approach to world peace.
