afghans for Afghans is a humanitarian and educational people-to-people project that knits and crochets wool blankets, sweaters, vests, socks, mittens, and hats for the people of Afghanistan. The project started in response to the war that unfolded after 9/11. This follows a long-time American tradition of knitting for others at times of war and crisis. As of late 2007, US and Canadian volunteers have made more than 62,000 top-quality blankets and garments as a gesture of friendship and respect for Afghan children, women, and men.
