          KNITTING TO HELP SAVE BABIES LIVES IN KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

8 months ago, the Justice & Peace Group 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.

During this time, a dedicated team of knitters, have knitted more than 300 little baby hats, and many other items e.g. mitts, jackets, body warmers, tank tops, blankets or similar.

Latest Update:  These knitted items have been transported to Afghanistan for the winter.

BABIES’ HATS

I would like to say a big Thank You to all the very kind ladies who have been knitting for our project in Afghanistan.  We have enjoyed each other’s company and got to know each other a little better whilst helping and hopefully promoting some goodwill in a war-torn country.  At present there is no way to make sure the hats reach their destination so for the moment, NO MORE KNITTING PLEASE!  Many thanks ladies.
