Hi everyone!
Here's a photo of the Cleveland Heights Senior Center Knitting group, busy making beanies for Burera! This group has knit many warm and adorable hats that are now keeping new babies warm in Rwanda. A huge thank you to all of you!
Welcome to Burera Hospital, snuggled up in the lovely yet chilly mountains of Rwanda. In a country where 1 in 10 babies die before their 1st birthday, low mountain temperatures can be deadly. Warm beanies are a simple way to help our newborns and improve child survival. Thus was born HotHeads Knitters. Our mission is to put a warm, stylish beanie on every baby as soon as they are born--as is done in US hospitals. Here we will share ideas from our knitters, and and stories of your work in use!
thanks so much for the postings
ReplyDeleteI have some photos of knitters/ crocheters of the hats, etc that we have made in Langlois Oregon
but have no idea of how to get them to you.
