NEW! AUG 2009 - AIDS ORPHANS - Knit-a-Square
I wonder if any one would help us crochet granny squares for the
abandoned children and orphans of South Africa? We
have a website: www.knit-a-square.com
which asks the world's knitters and crocheters to send squares where
they are made up into blankets and distributed to the poorest children
most of whom are orphaned or abandoned. So far we have received
about
25000 squares and distributed about 800 blankets. There are 1.4
million orphans, so we have a big job to do. Every square is
appreciated and goes into a blanket for a child.
Squares need
to be mailed to South Africa. Sandy

Baptist Hospital -
South's
Neonatal Unit in Montgomery, Alabama. We could use any size
granny
square that our members could join to make small blankets for the
babies.
Some of the blankets are used at the hospital but many are sent home
with
the babies. Soft, pastel baby colors or white would be preferred
in Baby Sport yarn.
