So my mom happened to come across a family style covenant home in India. I have sent over three knitted toys with a student traveling over there this summer. In the box where also donations from my mom as well as odd items we picked up from around here. There are 82 children in this home and i am hoping to donate enough toys for each child to have at least one each. That will make me 18 short of my goal of donating 100 toys to children in need. It may take awhile to get to the 100 but i know it will be worth it. These children will never be adopted out they will all live in this home forever.
As soon as My boyfriend starts back at work, i plan on sponsoring one of the children there. I also plan to go over and volunteer when i can figure out how to do it around our babies. Below are the photos posted of the toys that went over. There was a crab, whale and a turtle all hand knit. Here is the link to the blog we are donating to as well.
Here are the photos of the first three toys donated to this home.
This one was the crab sent over for a little boy named Mark, who also had surgery.
This one was the whale sent over to a little boy named Brent who had surgery for some serious problems.
This was a turtle from the set sent over. These are from a sea creature collection from Amy Gaines. This turtle was sent to a little girl in India, her name is Rebekah. I get most of my toy patterns from Amy Gaines and they are fast and easy to knit. You can find her on etsy. Below is a photo with some of the other stuff i sent over as well. Little items to fill the rest of mom's box. There were two brand new pairs of girls socks 0-6 months size. A bar of home made soap in the shape of a cat and my three knitted toys.
This was a knitted hat and bootie set also sent over at the same time. They have two small babies over there. Many more knitted sets to be sent yet.
Please be sure to check back as the blog is updated for more toys leaving all the time. :)
