As the last shipments of 2015 begin their journey to children in remote corners of the world, it’s a good time to reflect on what our Wool-Aid community has given to children this year.<\/p>\n

Wool-Aid shipments in 2015 contained 7167 items<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

722 sweaters<\/p>\n

466 vests<\/p>\n

1330 pairs of socks<\/p>\n

3814 hats<\/p>\n

722 pairs of mittens<\/p>\n

113 blankets<\/p>\n

Wool-Aid has sent these thousands of items around the world to help keep children warm in these places:<\/p>\n

Alaska — 225 items<\/p>\n

India — 232 items<\/p>\n

Jordan and Lebanon — 774 items<\/p>\n

Kazakhstan — 96 items<\/p>\n

Mongolia — 2912 items<\/p>\n

Nepal — 1236 items<\/p>\n

Syria — 1692 items<\/p>\n

Thank you for being a part of this!<\/p>\n

Many of you have donated warm, wool handknit\/crocheted items, and you and your family and friends have supported our shipping fund with financial contributions. Every contribution is appreciated, and every contribution makes a difference to a cold child somewhere in the world.<\/p>\n

For the sake of the children, please consider making a tax-deductible year-end gift<\/a> to support this important work. Your donation will help Wool-Aid provide the gift of warmth to children living in extremely cold environments who have the least access to resources.<\/p>\n

Let us join together to conclude 2015 with a message of hope and ensure that 2016 continues to bring warmth to the children that Wool-Aid serves.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your support, and Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
