A very Sweet Lady start this wonderful website her name is Sandy McDonald, She is from Australia; I hope I do this cause some justice when doing this post…  Now Sandy’s Aunt Ronda lives in South Africa, she is a lovely woman who Organized some lovely women too put together 8x8 ins. knitted or Crochet squares to make blankets for Orphans and sick children, children who live in caves and don’t trust any one,, but Ronda has a very strong love for this children and women.. 

The Photos I am going to share with you are from a news letter that Sandy sends out too keep us up to date on how things are going with our squares,  so these are from my newest one,, just a few to share all the sweet smiling faces of some who receive blankets..

You can also send out knitted hats and Go Over’s (sweaters),, to keep them warm.. The baby blankets to to new born babies to keep them wrapped in love and keep then warm, and to leave with them when they find a new family…. I can make this a very long  post, but I won’t,,, I do have  one more photo to share… This is a just a few of the packages and boxes full of knitted squares from all over the world…
