A Challenge
for you
Those of us who heard Dr Sharon Foning speak of
her work at the hospital in Kalimpong could not fail to be humbled by the
lack of resources that are available both for her in the job she is doing, and
for the mothers and babies in her care. Speaking with her in the evenings it
became apparent that the babies need to have cosy knitted garments and hats.
(Remember they are in the hills area) Her
daughter received a filled shoebox at Christmas. (I wonder if it came from
here!)
This prompted discussion about these, and the
invaluable contents of pens, pencils, rubbers, rulers, and toiletries which are
desperately needed in the rural areas.
So my challenge is - how many can we provide in
the space of a month?
The Indian visitors coming later this month will I
am assured by Sharon, have less luggage among them than the baggage allowance,
and would take these items back with them.
Patterns for an easy knit baby jumpers / hat are
at the back of the church or from the office - just use any colourful wool.
Please hand in baby knits, pens, pencils,
toiletries etc to Joyce at the office.
