The Seaside Knitters Knit-a-Square Project
Nell, Izzy, Birdie, Cass and dozens of Sea Harbor knitters joined together to knit hundreds of eight-inch squares for orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa who have been infected with AIDS. They found they could knit the colorful squares easily and anywhere—in Harry’s Deli, at Coffee’s, or sitting on Nell’s deck. Then they sent them off to Aunt Ronda and her team of volunteers from Soweto to make into warm blankets for the orphans. The project is one of many created by KasCare, a nonprofit begun by an amazing Australian family, the McDonalds. Please visit their Web sites to learn more about their projects, to see photos of blankets, and to see the beautiful children they keep warm. The Web sites will also provide information on how to send your own squares or other knitting projects to South Africa. |
