As with our previous November programs, we will be joined by a group that sponsors two schools for Afghan refugee girls. They will display merchandise from Afghanistan and the region, including clothing, shawls and jewelry, which are given as gifts for donations to the schools. Information and photos about the schools will also be displayed. Currently over 600 girls are enrolled. with $55 covering the expenses for a full school year for one girl. This will be a great opportunity to do your holiday shopping while contributing to a very worthy cause. Donations are also welcome.
