Hi Sara, yes most definitely you can drop off squares. I'm in Canada so don't have that option :-) Since Ronda is in Jo'burg I'll leave it to her to contact you with info. Parcel opening day is on a Thursday, maybe you'll have time to stay and help sort squares !!! I would love to be there to help :-)
I'll pass your email to Ronda, so that she can advise you the best time for potential deliveries. If possible, parcel opening day is a Thursday is likely to be the best, but the next one will not be until after Easter. Many thanks.
Greetings Sara-Jane from the middle of snowy Canada! Welcome to a worldwide network of loving happy people helping African Aids orphans and it's super that you're right in South Africa and can probably help much more cheaply and immediately than the rest of us. Glad to have you with us. It's so heartening to know that in this global, often so impersonal world, we're actually making a difference, a REAL difference, in the lives of these children. Check out the Forum, above, for the various discussion threads, and Photos for all the lovely photos of members' work and Groups where you can join groups from countries around the world.
The Featured Discussions grouping (in the Forum section) show the most important subjects at the moment, latest challenges, latest news etc. I also recommend the Café KAS Discussion section, which contains the Our Furry Companions and Yarnaholics threads. I am so much a Yarnaholic! Thanks again for helping the AIDS orphans in Africa!
Hello Sara-Jane, so glad you have joined us. Being in Johannesburg, you understand the difficulties the children face every day. Keeping them warm has brought together a world-wide group of caring knitters and crocheters.
If you haven’t already, please read through the welcome message on the forum main page for helpful hints and things that might interest you. The FAQ category should answer any general questions you may have. If not, please ask. http://forum.knit-a-square.com
KasSnippets has been e-published and I thought you might find it interesting to read.
Every month, we list the squares, beanies and tops that have arrived in South Africa. To find the ‘Squares lists’ please click the Forum tab [in the toolbar above] then on “Tallies/Item Count” for an up-to-date listing.
Making the basic square is a wonderful way to relax and still help the children. Plain Janes, as they are affectionately called, are the backbone of KAS. Since it takes 35 squares to make one blanket, squares are needed all the time.
We would love to see photos of your work. Click on the photo option at the top of the page and follow the prompts.
