KNITTING TO HELP SAVE BABIES LIVES IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN |

The Justice & Peace Group have targeted a project
in Afghanistan, thanks to the work & experiences of Allyson
(click here to read her diary of
life in Kabul).
Little babies die because of no head covering to keep them warm.
Our involvement:
To Knit & provide little baby hats, and any other items e.g. mitts, jackets,
body warmers, tank tops, blankets or similar.
Latest Update:
Over 200 hats have been knitted, transported and
distributed to babies at the Malalai Maternity Hospital in Kabul, which is a
fantastic
effort. Please click on the link to see photos which were taken on 15/11/09.
