In 2017, Wool-Aid shipped wonderful woolly warmth to children served by five different recipient organizations:

• Kyegu Monastery in Gamrau, India: 255 items
• Tibetan Nuns Project: 605 items
• Syria Relief: 1799 items
• Ladakh (India) children’s school and young nuns/monks: 2145 items
• Duo Duo Monastery (Tibet): 199 items

This totals 5003 items shipped out in 2017. Our large winter shipments have rolled over into 2018 for those organizations that can receive and distribute our items throughout the winter, including Syria Relief and the Duo Duo Monastery.

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.

Wool-Aid shipments in 2015 contained 7167 items:

722 sweaters

466 vests

1330 pairs of socks

3814 hats

722 pairs of mittens

113 blankets

Wool-Aid has sent these thousands of items around the world to help keep children warm in these places:

Alaska — 225 items

India — 232 items

Jordan and Lebanon — 774 items

Kazakhstan — 96 items

Mongolia — 2912 items

Nepal — 1236 items

Thank you for being a part of this!

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.

For the sake of the children, please consider making a tax-deductible year-end gift 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.

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.

Thank you for your support, and Happy New Year!
