Boxes!
Just when we were starting to wonder if we would have enough yarn to last us until the end of the year, 15 boxes of donated yarn and books from the US arrived! Thank you Carri Hammett and all our generous supporters for the past 20 months that have enabled us to continue to give to these ladies and see lives transformed!
