Here is my first scarf and hat

I have never crocheted a scarf or hat before. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Trust me! The hat was even easier because I bought a hat loom and it was a piece of cake. I think I can do that one in my sleep! So if you have started gathering items or making them, feel free to send me pictures. I want everyone that is helping to be a part of this too. If you want your picture uploaded email it to me at wrappedinloveservice@gmail.com . It's fun to see the different ways people are contributing.
I also just heard back from a good friend that is serving in the military in Afghanistan and he told me of a great need there with refugees. I am going to try and send a package in the next month to get some things to people as soon as possible (he is going to hand deliver them himself and take pictures), but like I said before this is ongoing for next year. Don't feel stressed if you can't help right now whenever you can will be great! Any donations will buy all of these items to send to people in need. Thanks for all of you love and support! Emily

Here is a portion of his email from Afghanistan: I got your email about the scarves.

If you were to send them here, I would be able to make sure they get distributed to people in need. It's very cold here right now and we have many refugee camps in the immediate area and throughout the province. Kunar is very kinetic right now - my FOB is less than 5 K from the Pakistani border. We have refugees from the Pech and Korengal valley's, in addition to Pashtun tribesmen pushed over from Pakistan - it's getting much colder as we head into winter now too.

If you want to send scarves and other humanitarian assistance, you can send it to me:

Stewart Brough

PRT Kunar, Camp Wright

Asadabad

APO AE 09354

if you are sending it next year, you can replace my name with the title "Civil Military Operations OIC" and it will get to the civil affairs team here in the province.

If you send it to me, I can actually get you some pictures of the people we distribute it to. You'll get to help people in need, but you'll also contribute to the war effort here by showing that Americans care about the Afghan people
