The words for the day: Charity, Pay it Forward, and Pass It On
Leslie our volunteer told our clients about a project where warm clothing is needed for children in Mongolia (Dulaan Project). We decided we would take this project on and the clients are going to knit scarves and we will send it off in the mail by July 1. We are trying to pass on the kindnesses that have been shown to us with many of the yarn donations from all over the country. I am hoping that many of our friends who have donated yarn to us see it being used in some of the photos I capture.
