In May 2006, a small group of university students will travel to Along with them they will take knitted hats, gloves and scarves to be distributed to the many children needing warm clothes. Volunteers are needed to help knit these items. |
|
Rural schools are unheated. Students sit in cold classrooms trying to learn their lessons. Items need to be wool, not acrylic, nylon or rayon – or at least high-wool content if blended yarn – Wool stays warm when wet. Size for
primary-grade children, boys and girls; approx. 5 inches wide and 4 feet long – with NO fringe. Yellows, oranges, and reds are favorite colors, more so than blues and purples. |
