Seeking Justice for Afghan Women and Girls is the theme of a fundraising event presented by the Peterborough chapter of Right to Learn Afghanistan, Saturday, Nov. 15 from 2 until 4 p.m. at Emmanuel United Church, 534 George St. N.

“There will be a showing of short videos and talks explaining the terrible injustices now faced by Afghan girls and women and what Right To Learn Afghanistan is doing to help,” says member Melodie McCullough. “Hear from a young woman, now making her home in Peterborough after needing to flee Afghanistan. She promises to demonstrate a traditional Afghan dance.”

Beautiful jewelry, handcrafted and donated by Dorothy Dyck especially for the Peterborough chapter, will be available for purchase. These earrings, men’s and women’s bracelets, necklaces, and lanyards for glasses are individually designed and made with natural semi-precious stones mounted on stainless steel hooks, and gift wrapped with a description of each stone and its properties.
