If anyone is looking for an innovative, progressive gift to give this year for the holidays (or for any purpose), please consider donating in the recipient's name to the Afghan Women's Mission http://www.afghanwomensmission.org/index.php. All the proceeds are forwarded to the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, a home-grown organization dedicated to educating Afghan women and children and securing their physical and emotional well-being via medical care, orphanages, and other aid and reconstruction projects. Anything you can send would make a world of difference.
