We've had such bipolar weather here in DC, but in other parts of the world is has been unbearably cold... being Afghan, when I read this article from NYTimes about 22 children dying in Refugee Camps in Afghanistan just from the cold made me want to help. I started a Clothing Drive just for close friends and family and the turn out was amazing! We raised over $750 and had over 100 boxes of new and gently used clothes. The Lamia Foundation helped us with the shipping and distribution of the clothes. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

everyone who helped!
Hopefully the next project is the School Supply Drive!
