Hi Shirley, welcome to the forum ! We are so pleased you have joined our world-wide family of knitters and crocheters. We are dedicated to keeping the children in South Africa warm.
How lovely to have the school children and their families involved in KAS. That is a great photo ! It will be exciting for the children to send off the parcels. It will also be exciting for the volunteers to receive the parcels.
Maybe some of the items will show up in the e-zine.
You might want to check with the UK group about posting to South Africa. I think the cheapest parcel size is 2 kg. Anything larger than that is terribly expensive.
Hi delighted to be a member! In the next few weeks I will be posting a large amount of squares, hats and jumpers that have been knitted by my school community. I wanted to ask about the jumpers. Are they needed or are they best sent elsewhere?
Greetings Shirley from across the Pond in the middle of Canada. :) Welcome to a worldwide network of loving happy people helping African Aids orphans. 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 Anyone Want to Chat Discussion section, which contains the Our Furry Companions and Yarnaholics threads. I am so much a Yarnaholic! You joined us just in time to contribute some warm squares, hats and garments for the children, as their winter is approaching as ours leaves. Thanks again for helping the AIDS orphans in Africa!
