Re: 11- 01 Afghanistan: Women & Children in Special Need--3 Simple Ways You Can

["Sigrid Loos" <sigloos at libero.it>]

Ciao tutti ho sbirciato sul sito http://www.helpafghanwomen.com
citato nel  messaggio qui sotto. I prodotti offerti come artigianato fatto
dalle donne afgane mi sembrano una buona idea come regalo di Natale (idea di
Alessandro Marescotti che girava in Ottobre per un Natale non consumistico).
Ecco qui si possono fare regali e sostenere le donne afgane nei campi
profughi in Pakistan.
saluti di pace
Sigrid
