I am always amazed at the number of people who want to help out with what the Team does in Kenya each year. Some folks have funds to donate and others want to give something that will bring joy to a child's face.
Last year we were able to hand out hundreds of Comfort Dolls to the children we saw in Kenya. They were made by many women knitters in North Bay and area and brought pure joy and delight to each child who received one. In fact many older children wanted one as well, but we ran out of them.
This year again, many women put wool to needle and we have received many dolls to again distribute. Two women that I met at the YMCA, Joan Rayburn and Jean Arthur, worked together and this morning presented me with 100 completed Comfort Dolls to take with me. These women gave of their time and talent to bring happiness to a child in Kenya.
Many thanks to you both for your effort and for caring for children half way around the world.
