Hoops, Skipping Ropes, Dolls.
After the hoops I made reached St Albans school in Uganda I heard that there is a real shortage of girls toys there, so over a period of a few months I bought a couple of skipping ropes each week when I went shopping. I figured theyre cheap and also small and light to send over, but still a fun toy to have. I also randomly found 4 small rag dolls, so I included them too. They have been passed on to my friends family who collect and raise money for the village in Uganda where the school is situated, and Ive been told theyre on their way now (-:
Im not sure why, but the pic wont post directly below this written bit. Please scroll…
Two lovely friends of mine Kate and Emma made donations to COL recently (! money and 1 roll of polypipe & connectors.) I heard a local charity appeal on the radio last week asking for toys for kids this Christmas. Apparently some kids havent had Xmas gifts for up to 5 years which is terrible! I matched the donations and have made 35 hoops to donate in a range of sizes. This isnt the best photo – but Im not the best photographer!
Im not sure if there will be more hoop making before 2010 is over. I wish everyone happy holidays regardless of what you may or may not celebrate. Stay safe & have a good time!! (-:
