Helena, Montana December 19, 2001
Dear RAWA and Afghan Women's Mission:
Today I am sending a registered envelope with the proceeds from the Afghan
Relief Dinner and Silent Auction we held in Helena, Montana on December
19th.
Hopefully the checks are all made out correctly enough for you to deposit.
Total funds in the envelope are $3,350.37 and I have included a list of
the donors and check amounts. I am waiting for a few additional checks
for auction items and will send them later.
Our photographer, Jennifer Thompson loaded a few images
of the event on the computer and I have added them as attachments. The
following picture shows most of our kitchen crew including Noorjahan Parwana
(on the left in black pullover) who also gave a slide show on Afghanistan.

Noorjahan lived in Lashkargah in southern Afghanistan until she was 9.
Though the event was fun in many ways, and educational as well, all of
our hearts are aching for the suffering of the Afghan people, and especially
that inflicted on innocent victims by our military actions.

We send our prayers and love with these checks.
Joan Bird
