Parkas for Pakistan Shipment


The collection is going on strong. We did inventory and shrink wrapping of items, more are coming in everyday. I have transfered $2100 to St Paul De Vincent society of Oregon. Inshallah we should have the shipment out of oakland by the second week of January on its way to Karachi. Thanks to you all.

The first snows have arrived in Northern Area, everything has grounded to a halt.

The call for parkas and some excerpts from the KPFA radio show are here
