Sarah’s blog 1/8/24
We have several people who knit for us from time to time…all very talented…I can’t knit and I think it’s wonderful how they dedicate their time and talents to help the orphans we support.
It can get cold at night in Malawi and none of these children have enough bedding so a woolly hat is very much appreciated and they are delighted to receive a gift.
My auntie, who lives in England, visited last month and brought lots and lots of hats that she and her friend have been busy knitting over the last few months. Another friend of hers buys pencils and other supplies so my auntie brought those with her too. There were nearly 200 hats! Amazing!
I waited to post about the hats until the container arrived with the hats that had already been sent…some were knitted by my auntie but others by talented locals from Balfron, Strathblane, Torrance and further afield. We are so grateful for each and every one of the hats, baby cardigans and blankets that are knitted with love and donated to us for the children and babies we help to support.

We will also buy some wool so that the knitting group can continue learning to knit. If you could spare a small donation it would be most appreciated. Thank you so much to every knitter and for everyone who supports our projects. Enjoy the photos, Sarah x
