Numbers

Let's talk about some numbers associated with the T21 Traveling Afghan.


To date, thirteen families within the United States have received the afghan since March of 2009.

There are currently 211 United States families on the list who are waiting to receive the afghan. There are participants in all fifty states.

There are 53 families in various countries who are also waiting for the afghan.

This means there are 264 families waiting. At a week per family, the afghan will be traveling for another FIVE YEARS minimum!

Talk about awareness! Talk about global! Talk about amazing!!

In addition, there have been twenty-five children who have received their own afghan. There are currently twenty-four T21 afghans in the queue and four sibling afghans.

The project itself simply amazes me.

Seeing the numbers brings me a sense of unity and community unlike any other I have ever experienced. Talk about awareness. Talk about global. Talk about amazing!!

Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi

An Afghan Of Their Own Fund

This fund has been created through The T21 Traveling Afghan Project in order to provide afghans for children with Down syndrome who are ill or facing other challenges.

This money goes towards purchasing yarn and covering the shipping costs of the afghan. You may make a donation towards a specific child or donate to the fund in general.

When you donate, the child will be sent a card with your name on it and you will be informed as to which child your donation provided an afghan to.

If you are interesting in donating to An Afghan Of Their Own Fund, please contact me at chandosjoy@gmail.com
