Looking for meaningful gifts this Christmas? Right to Learn Afghanistan Peterborough Chapter, will be participating at the Activity Haven Christmas Market Saturday, Nov. 7, offering Peterborough residents a chance to find something beautiful while helping make a difference in the lives of Afghan women and girls. 

Right to Learn Afghanistan will be offering distinctive, handcrafted Afghan items at the market that takes place at Activity Haven, 180 Barnardo Ave., from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

“Shoppers can browse Red Pashminas, along with stunning jewelry pieces including individually-designed stone earrings featuring natural semi-precious stones. All jewelry items have been generously donated by Dorothy Dyck,” says Right to Learn Peterborough member Melodie McCullough.

Proceeds from the booth support Right to Learn Afghanistan’s work to provide access to education for Afghan women and girls and to increase Canadians’ awareness and understanding of the human rights crisis in Afghanistan.

Behind every purchase is a reminder that education can open doors to opportunity, independence, and hope for an Afghan woman........
