CHARITY HATS:
All over South Africa, babies being born to impoverished families ~ some of these precious little ones are going home wrapped in newspaper as the families can’t afford a snugly blanket for their newborn child.
The Beanies 4 Teenies project sadly doesn’t exist any more, but Natural Yarns remains a drop-off point for preemie and newborn hats – when we have collected a number of beanies, we will distribute the little hats to hospitals in need. These will be either to the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, Mowbray Maternity Hospital or the Tygerberg Hospital.
