One year on - The Final Chapter

Yes it really is a year since my last post. Here is a final update on the Funsani Blanket Project.

Things never happen quickly in Africa, but eventually the blankets arrived at Funsani Hospice and have now been distributed to children at the hospice and those looked after by the Funsani Women's groups in Kwacha and Chantete. The TV cameras were apparently there to record the event. A huge thank you to everyone who helped to make the project so successful.

As you will see the Final Total was nearly 300 blankets - what a result!!!!

From the Guernsey Girls

These blankets arrived from Bridget and her Mum - such lovely bright colours. Thank you so much, and for sending your photo with them.

THE GRAND TOTAL

Yes, the amazing Grand Total is

286!

This is just WONDERFUL.

It means that all the children who are supported by Funsani will get blankets to keep them warm AND also children that are supported by another orphanage. This is just terrific. The blankets will be on their way to Zambia next week and should arrive in time to keep the children warm next winter. Well done everyone!

I really must congratualate and thank all of you who have supported the project - it has been an amazing experience running the project and I know that the blankets will really be appreciated. How I wish I could be there when they arrive.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Maidstone Blankets

Kath in Maidstone delivered these 12 blankets having roped in family, friends and neighbours to make squares for Funsani Blankets. The blanket on her lap was made from squares made by girls at the school where she works.

Thanky you all for your efforts.
